Published: 5/27/2025

French troops from the UN peacekeeping force Unifil are helping to search for Hezbollah positions in Lebanon that were used to attack Israel. Despite a ceasefire agreement requiring Hezbollah to withdraw fighters and weapons, violations from the Israeli side including air strikes and drone infiltrations have been reported. The presence of Israeli soldiers in Lebanon has raised concerns, with the UN expressing worry over civilian casualties caused by Israeli attacks, and Lebanon calling for international pressure on Israel to adhere to the ceasefire terms.
