## Reported figures

- 7 deaths

## Coverage angles

The three sides report the opening of a judicial inquiry in Paris, but the left frames it as a denunciation of Israeli actions in Lebanon, while the centre sticks to the judicial procedure and the individual complaint.

**Common ground**

- A judicial inquiry is opened in Paris for war crime
- Franco-Lebanese artist Ali Cherri filed the complaint
- His parents were killed in an Israeli strike in Beirut in 2024

**Differences**

- The left describes Israel as occupying forces and stresses the need to combat impunity, phrasing absent from the centre
- The left presents the investigation as the first targeting Israel's crimes in Lebanon since 2023, an angle not picked up by the centre
