Second French peacekeeper dies after ambush blamed on Hezbollah: Macron

A second French soldier died Wednesday "of the consequences of his wounds" suffered in a weekend ambush against U.N. peacekeepers in Lebanon blamed on Hezbollah, President Emmanuel Macron said.

A first soldier was shot dead in the Saturday ambush, for which Hezbollah has denied responsibility, while Wednesday's fatality was one of three troops hurt in the same attack.
