After Macron gave Kate's hand an air kiss, the French President and First Lady got into a waiting car, with Brigitte looking at her phone and saying nothing.

3 dead in north Lebanon strike that Israel says hit Hamas militant
Lebanon said three people were killed Tuesday in a strike near Tripoli that the Israeli military said targeted a Hamas militant, the first on the north since a November ceasefire with Hezbollah. The strike came as Israel and Hamas held ceasefire talks in Qatar and after five Israeli soldiers were killed in combat in the Gaza Strip, one of the deadliest days for Israeli forces in the Palestinian territory this year. Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon despite the November truce, mainly hitting what it says are Hezbollah targets but also occasionally targeting Hamas. The Israeli military said it "struck and eliminated the terrorist Mehran Mustafa Ba'jur" in an intelligence-led strike, calling him "one of Hamas's key commanders in Lebanon". It released six seconds of video footage of what appeared to be an air strike on a moving car. AFP cannot independently verify the footage. "During the war, he was responsible for rocket fire attacks towards (the northern Israeli cities of) Nahariya, Kiryat Shmona and additional cities across Israel," a statement said. "His elimination significantly damages Hamas's terror activity in Lebanon," it added, promising to "operate against Hamas's establishment in Lebanon, and... wherever they operate". Lebanon's health ministry said the strike on a vehicle "killed three people and wounded 13" in an area that is close to a Palestinian refugee camp. An AFP photographer saw a burnt out car surrounded by the emergency services and onlookers. Hamas claimed attacks on Israel from Lebanon during more than a year of cross-border hostilities launched by Hezbollah in October 2023 in support of its Palestinian ally. Israel has struck Hamas operatives in Lebanon, including since the ceasefire. In May, Hamas said one of its commanders was killed in a strike on the southern city of Sidon as Israel said it targeted "the head of operations in Hamas's Western Brigade in Lebanon". In October, Hamas said one of its operatives was killed along with his wife and two daughters in a strike on their home in Beddawi, a Palestinian refugee camp near Tripoli. Israel's military said it targeted "a senior member of Hamas's military wing in Lebanon". In May, Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas visited Beirut for talks on disarming militants in refugee camps across Lebanon as the Beirut government seeks to impose its authority across all its territory. Israeli strikes on south Lebanon remain common, but raids on the north have been rare. A separate Israeli drone strike on a car near the southern village of Babliyeh on Tuesday killed one person, the health ministry said. The Israeli military said earlier that it had killed two Hezbollah operatives in strikes on south Lebanon on Monday. burs-lg/lk/kir/dcp

EU prosecutor's office investigates alleged misuse of funds by far-right lawmakers
PARIS (Reuters) -EU financial prosecutors said on Tuesday they had opened an investigation into alleged misuse of 4.3 million euros ($5.04 million) of funds by Identity and Democracy, a now-defunct far-right group that included Marine Le Pen's National Rally party. Media outlets in several countries across the EU reported last week that a draft audit by the European Parliament had found that parties linked to the group had performed improper procurement procedures and had given donations to non-parliamentary activities. A European Public Prosecutor's Office spokesperson confirmed the probe, first reported by Euractiv, but said it was not possible to provide any details. The Identity and Democracy grouping in the European Parliament was unveiled by French politician Le Pen in 2019, uniting eurosceptics from across the continent who aimed to devolve power from Brussels back to capitals. Jordan Bardella, the president of the National Rally and a member of the European Parliament, told reporters the European Parliament had launched a "harassment operation". "I don't think anyone is fooled by this type of operation," he said. Euractiv, a media outlet that covers the EU, said the probe related to spending between 2019 and 2024. EPPO investigates financial crimes against the European Union and works with EU member states' authorities, as well as other entities. ($1 = 0.8536 euros)
