Caught in the crossfire: FRANCE 24 speaks to the family of a fallen Lebanese soldier
As Israel and Hezbollah are at war, UN peacekeepers and Lebanese Army soldiers have been caught in the crossfire. 4,000 Lebanese soldiers, often powerless observers, are deployed in the south. At least 11 of them have been killed. FRANCE 24’s Achraf Abid and Johan Bodin met the family of one of these fallen soldiers: Mohammed Farhat, a Shia Muslim from southern Lebanon, killed 10 days ago. His family has been sheltering with his best friend, a Christian in northern Lebanon.
