The remains of Sergeant Major Florian Montorio, killed in Lebanon, are to be repatriated to France this Saturday, government spokesperson Maud Bregeon announced. The French soldier lost his life the previous day in circumstances that have not yet been publicly detailed, amid a still tense security situation in the region. French authorities quickly initiated the necessary procedures to organize his return to France, so that his family and the military can pay their respects.
The details of a possible national tribute have not yet been finalized. Maud Bregeon clarified that no date or official arrangements have been set yet, even though this type of ceremony is regularly considered for soldiers killed in action. The decision will depend in particular on the political and military authorities in the coming days.
Military personnel still hospitalized in Beirut
Three other soldiers wounded in the same incident are currently receiving treatment in hospitals in Beirut. Their condition is being closely monitored, while French authorities remain in close contact with medical teams on the ground to assess the conditions of their transfer.
Their repatriation to France could be decided in the coming days, depending on how their condition evolves. This gradual approach aims to guarantee their safety and stability before any relocation, in a context where the French army remains mobilized to monitor its personnel deployed abroad.
