The incident occurred while the UNIFIL unit was clearing mines from a road, highlighting the deepening instability in the region despite a fragile ceasefire.

Macron has called on Lebanese authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible without delay, describing the attack as 'unacceptable.' Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the ambush, which took place near the town of Bint Jbeil.

The U.N. Secretary-General has condemned the killing and urged all parties to respect the safety of international personnel.
