PARIS (Reuters) -France is concerned about the intensification of Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon and is also calling the Israeli army to respect Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, a French foreign ministry spokesperson said on Thursday.

"We are concerned about this intensification of Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. We condemn the Israeli strikes that are killing civilians in the south. Our position is one of respect for the ceasefire of 27 November 2024 (...)," he said.

The Israeli military stepped up airstrikes in south Lebanon on Wednesday, killing at least one person as it pressed a campaign of near-daily attacks which it says is designed to block a military revival by Iran-backed Hezbollah in the border area.

"We are following developments in the Golan Heights with great concern. France calls for the withdrawal of the Israeli army and respect for Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity," the spokesperson said about Syria.
