French Soldier Killed in Lebanon

The attack marks a significant escalation and a direct challenge to the fragile 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

President Macron has condemned the 'unacceptable' violence and held urgent calls with Lebanese leadership to demand accountability.

UNIFIL has launched an investigation into the ambush, which involved small-arms fire and a direct gunshot wound to the deceased paratrooper.

While Hezbollah has denied involvement, the incident has drawn sharp condemnation from the United Nations and regional allies like Bahrain.
