French peacekeeper killed in Lebanon

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that a patrol was targeted by small-arms fire near the village of Ghandouriyeh.

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the 'unacceptable attack' and indicated that Hezbollah was likely responsible, though the group has denied involvement.

The incident has cast a shadow over the ongoing truce, which was intended to allow displaced civilians to return home.

International leaders have called for a thorough investigation to ensure accountability for the peacekeeper's death.
