French President Emmanuel Macron blamed Hezbollah for the killing of a French soldier and the wounding of three others in Lebanon on Saturday.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon announced that four of its peacekeepers had been shot by “non-state-actors” while clearing explosive ordnance along a road near the village of Ghanduriyah. The small arms fire killed one and hospitalized the other three, with two of these wounded seriously. UNIFIL said its preliminary findings pinned the blame on Hezbollah, which Macron soon confirmed.
