Macron mourns a second French soldier killed in Lebanon while serving with UNIFIL

French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on his account on the X platform:

"This morning, Master Corporal Anis Girardin, of the 132nd Cynotechnical Infantry Regiment in Suippes, died of his wounds after being evacuated yesterday from Lebanon, where he had been seriously injured by Hezbollah fighters.

He died for France.

The nation, which will tomorrow honor Sergeant Florian Monferrand, who was fatally wounded in the same ambush, remembers Master Corporal Anis Girardin and his sacrifice with deep emotion. It also extends its sincerest feelings and deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, as well as to the families of the other wounded.

It pays tribute to the exemplary commitment of its armed forces within UNIFIL, which are working with courage and determination in the service of France and peace in Lebanon."
