PARIS, April 18 (Reuters) - A French soldier who was part of international Forces stationed in southern Lebanon was killed, President Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday, adding that evidence suggests Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah was responsible for the attack. Three other soldiers were wounded and have been evacuated, Macron said in a post on X, urging the Lebanese government to act against the alleged perpetrators.

The soldiers were part of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), a peacekeeping mission in the country's south.
