French peacekeeper killed in Lebanon

The attack on the UNIFIL mission occurred despite a tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an immediate cessation of attacks on peacekeepers, emphasizing that such actions are unacceptable.

Hezbollah has denied involvement in the strike, which has drawn widespread international condemnation.

The incident highlights the extreme volatility of the security zone in southern Lebanon as both sides continue to report ceasefire violations.
