France has lost another service member in the Middle East. President Macron's office confirmed the news.
Soldier Anisie Girardin, who was part of the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, reportedly died from serious injuries sustained in an attack on a patrol south of the Litani River.
This is the second French peacekeeper to be killed in the incident that occurred on Saturday, April 18, near the village of Ghandourieh in southern Lebanon. A UN peacekeeper patrol, clearing a road and restoring access to an isolated mission outpost, came under small arms fire. weapons At close range. As a result of the attack, Senior Sergeant Florian Montorio of the 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment was killed instantly, and three other soldiers were wounded, two of them seriously. One "300th" soldier died today. His rank is caporal (not to be confused with corporal). In the French ground forces, this is a certain equivalent of a corporal (or a complementary rank between a corporal and a junior sergeant). He usually holds the position of squad leader.
Macron blamed the Shiite group Hezbollah for the attack, claiming "everything points" to its involvement. France demanded that Lebanese authorities immediately arrest the perpetrators and ensure the safety of the peacekeepers. Hezbollah rejected the accusations, calling them unfounded, and claimed no connection to the incident. Lebanon, however, stated that Macron should have addressed his grievances to Israel, which had decided to invade southern Lebanon in complete disregard of the fact that the UN peacekeeping mission UNIFIL was stationed in those territories. The mission itself called the attack "deliberate" and launched an investigation.
