TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A number of Instagram [archive], Facebook, and TikTok accounts have circulated a video claiming that 170 Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack by the Indonesian National Armed Forces. The footage shows personnel of the Indonesian military assaulting troops wearing different uniforms.

The video’s narration asserts that the incident took place during a humanitarian mission to Gaza. Accounts that shared the clip further claimed that the Indonesian forces had stunned the Middle East and destroyed dozens of tanks.

However, is it true that the video shows TNI peacekeeping forces killing 170 Israeli soldiers?
