An Israeli strike in Beirut killed three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), marking the first such attack within the city's limits since the Gaza war began last year.
This incident escalates regional tensions, following recent Israeli operations targeting Hezbollah, including the killing of its leader, as Israel shifts its focus to its northern front.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
