French peacekeeper injured in southern Lebanon dies in hospital

Another French peacekeeper has died after being seriously injured by Hezbollah fighters. The news was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron in a post on “X”, where he stated that Corporal Anicet Girardin was repatriated yesterday and passed away today.

On Saturday, a French peacekeeper serving in the UN mission in southern Lebanon, Unifil, was killed after a patrol was shot at.

Macron blamed Hezbollah for the attack, although the Iran-backed armed group has denied any connection to the incident. Meanwhile, two other peacekeepers were injured.

Macron has previously stated that he fully supports the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel and is concerned that it could be "undermined by the continuation of military operations." He called for Hezbollah to give up its weapons and for Israel to respect Lebanese sovereignty. /CNA
