Macron: French soldier was killed in Lebanon

A French soldier who was part of international Forces stationed in South Lebanon was killed, President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday, adding ⁠that evidence suggests Hezbollah was responsible for the attack.

Three other soldiers were wounded and have been evacuated, Macron said in ⁠a post on X, urging the Lebanese government to act against ⁠the alleged perpetrators.

The soldiers were part of the UN ⁠Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), a peacekeeping ⁠mission in the country's south.
