This happened in southern Lebanon on the second day of the ceasefire with Israel. The deceased was identified as Staff Sergeant Florian Montorio from the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment.
Three of his comrades-in-arms were wounded and evacuated. All indications are that Hezbollah is responsible for this attack. France demands that the Lebanese authorities immediately apprehend those responsible and take responsibility.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the attack on the French contingent of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
I have given strict instructions to conduct an immediate investigation to determine the circumstances of these attacks and bring the perpetrators to justice.
