UN chief Guterres condemns killing of French peacekeeper in Lebanon

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the killing of a French peacekeeper and wounding of three others in an attack on southern Lebanon. 

UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told the Associated Press the UN peacekeeping force came under attack with small-arms fire on Saturday morning, with two of the injured seriously hurt.

Both Emmanuel Macron, president of France, and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, or Unifil, blamed Hezbollah, but the militant group denied involvement.
