UN chief condemns killing of French soldier in Lebanon, assesses Hezbollah responsible

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemns an attack on UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon that left a French soldier dead and three wounded.

France blamed the attack on Hezbollah and Guterres says, in a statement issued by his spokesman, that an initial assessment by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) was that it was carried out by the Iranian-backed terror group.
