Israeli Strike Kills Lebanese Army Soldier in South Lebanon
🎖️ BEIRUT — Israel struck Lebanon's Western-backed army, not a militia. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: The LAF is the actor France, the US, and EU states have funded as Lebanon's legitimate security force and Hezbollah alternative. Killing a Lebanese soldier forces Beirut toward a political response Paris cannot ignore. It hands Iran and Hezbollah a propaganda gift: proof that Israel doesn't distinguish. Watch whether France invokes its LAF support role to escalate diplomatic pressure on Netanyahu.
