French Soldier Killed in Lebanon

President Emmanuel Macron has identified the fallen soldier as Staff Sergeant Florian Montorio of the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment.

The French government and UNIFIL officials have attributed the 'deliberate attack' to Iran-backed Hezbollah, though the group has denied involvement.

The incident has drawn sharp condemnation from the Lebanese government, which has vowed to hold those responsible accountable.

This tragedy highlights the extreme volatility on the ground as displaced residents attempt to return to their devastated villages during the brief truce.
