"A French soldier serving with the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has been killed, and three others were wounded in an attack that UNIFIL and French officials said was likely carried out by Hezbollah."
"French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the unacceptable attack, urging the Lebanese government to act against those responsible, while Hezbollah rejected the allegations and denied any connection to the incident."
"The patrol was ambushed while on a mission to open a route to a UNIFIL post that had been isolated by fighting in the area, with the soldier killed by direct small-arms fire."
A French soldier was killed and three others wounded in an attack in Ghandouriyeh, southern Lebanon, attributed to Hezbollah. UNIFIL reported that initial assessments indicated the attack was deliberate and involved non-state actors. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the attack and urged the Lebanese government to take action against those responsible. Hezbollah denied involvement, calling for caution in judgments. The incident occurred shortly after a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, raising tensions in the region as investigations were launched by both Lebanese authorities and UNIFIL.
