⚡️🇫🇷🇱🇧🇺🇳🇱🇧 French President Emmanuel Macron announced that French Sergeant Chief Florian Montorio of the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment was killed this morning in southern Lebanon during an attack on UNIFIL.

Three of his comrades were wounded and have been evacuated.

“Everything suggests that responsibility for this attack lies with Hezbollah,” President Macron said.

France demands that Lebanese authorities immediately arrest the perpetrators and take their responsibilities alongside UNIFIL.

French Minister of the Armed Forces Catherine Vautrin added that Montorio, an experienced non‑commissioned officer, was on a mission to open a route to a UNIFIL post that had been isolated for several days.

He was ambushed by an armed group at very close range and hit by small‑arms fire. He died despite efforts by his comrades.
