Indonesia Condemns Israeli Attack on Lebanon That Killed Hundreds
Indonesia has condemned Israel’s attacks on Lebanon that resulted in numerous casualties. Indonesia views the attacks as violations of international law and as worsening regional tensions.
“Indonesia strongly condemns the various Israeli attacks on Beirut and various areas in Lebanon that have caused numerous civilian casualties as well as physical damage,” said the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in its statement via its official X account on Friday (10/4/2026).
The attacks targeting the densely populated city of Beirut resulted in at least 182 people dead and 890 injured. Indonesia condemned the attacks and assessed them as violations of international law.
“The attacks constitute a serious violation of international law, including international humanitarian law, and risk further worsening regional tensions that endanger global security,” the ministry wrote.
In addition, Indonesia urged Israel to halt the attacks in Lebanon and prioritise dialogue. It also reminded of the importance of protecting civilians and civilian infrastructure, in accordance with international legal obligations.
“Indonesia demands that Israel immediately and permanently cease violence and aggression in Lebanon,” it stated.
“Indonesia calls on all involved parties to exercise maximum restraint, undertake de-escalation efforts, prioritise dialogue, and avoid actions that could worsen the situation,” the ministry wrote.
Previously, Israel carried out attacks in Lebanon, including in the densely populated central Beirut on Wednesday. This was Israel’s largest attack since the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah joined the war in early March.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the ceasefire with Iran does not cover the Hezbollah group in Lebanon.
The IDF described the latest bombardment of Lebanon on Wednesday as the largest wave of airstrikes on the country. The IDF claimed to have targeted more than 100 Hezbollah command centres and military locations within 10 minutes. The southern suburbs of Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley in the east were targeted.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health stated that at least 182 people were killed and 890 injured.
This number adds to the list of deaths since Israel launched attacks on Lebanon six weeks ago. Previously, 1,700 people had died, including 130 children, in the country, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
