France opens first war-crimes probe into Israeli strikes in Lebanon

Two French judges have opened a judicial investigation into suspected war crimes by the Israeli army in Lebanon, following a complaint by a Franco-Lebanese man who lost his parents in a Beirut airstrike in late 2024. This is the first such probe in France, according to the complainant's lawyer, and comes amid Israel's ongoing occupation of parts of southern Lebanon since March. The investigation's scope and potential for broader accountability remain uncertain.
