Staff Sgt. Florian Montorio of France's 17th Parachute Engineer Regiment was killed and three French peacekeepers wounded in a small-arms ambush near the southern Lebanese village of Ghandouriyeh on April 18, 2026, just days into a fragile Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. President Macron blamed Hezbollah, which denied involvement, as the attack raised fresh questions about the viability of UNIFIL — a force that has lost over 340 personnel since 1978 and is now scheduled for full withdrawal by the end of 2027.
