Hezbollah Blamed for Peacekeeper Death

The fragile ceasefire in southern Lebanon has been tested by the killing of Staff Sergeant Florian Montorio, a UN peacekeeper.

The ambush occurred while the soldiers were clearing mines from a road, an operation essential for the return of displaced civilians.

While Hezbollah has denied responsibility, President Macron and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres have condemned the attack in the strongest terms.

This incident underscores the extreme instability in the region as international forces struggle to maintain a buffer zone between Israel and Hezbollah.
