JAKARTA, Oct 19 – Two Indonesian soldiers who were injured during an Israeli attack in Lebanon have recovered and returned to duty with their UNIFIL unit, Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) Commander General Agus Subiyanto confirmed on Friday, Antara news agency reported.
“Both are healthy; they have returned to their units. Both have rejoined their parent troops. They are doing well,” he said.
