French Peacekeeper Killed in Lebanon

The death of Staff Sergeant Florian Montorio has cast a shadow over the fragile 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

UNIFIL officials described the incident as a direct attack on international forces, though Hezbollah has denied any connection to the shooting.

The patrol was reportedly targeted by small-arms fire while performing humanitarian demining operations.

President Macron has demanded a full investigation and called on Lebanese authorities to ensure accountability for the perpetrators.
