French UNIFIL Soldier Killed in Lebanon; Macron Blames Hezbollah
A French UN peacekeeping soldier was killed in southern Lebanon following an attack that left three others wounded. French President Emmanuel Macron attributed the attack to Hezbollah, although the group denied involvement. The incident occurred near the village of Ghandouriyeh after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah had been in effect for ten days. The soldier, identified as Staff Sgt. Florian Montorio, was part of a mission to open a route to a UNIFIL post isolated due to ongoing conflict. The Lebanese Military Tribunal has launched an investigation into the attack, with Hezbollah urging caution in assigning blame until the investigation is complete.
