South Lebanon witnessed a serious security breach after Israeli aviation launched intensive raids on border sites. One raid hit a UNIFIL patrol, killing a French soldier and wounding others with varying severity. Hezbollah rushed to issue an official statement denying its connection to the presence or targeting of forces. Paris summoned the Israeli ambassador to protest and requested an urgent international investigation into this incident. Displaced Lebanese stopped their return journeys to their villages fearing renewed clashes and complete truce collapse. The Security Council prepares to hold an emergency session to discuss repeated Israeli violations of ceasefire resolutions. The Israeli escalation comes at a sensitive time when Washington seeks to calm fronts to arrange cards. Lebanese leadership holds the international community responsible for curbing Israeli aggression and protecting civilians and peacekeepers. The truce, which has only lasted a few days, is now clinically dead awaiting the final bullet. Tension in South Lebanon threatens a destructive war whose fires will definitely not be limited to borders.
