Canada\u2019s foreign minister said Monday that a Canadian citizen was killed in southern Lebanon, urging Israel to cease its attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, I was made aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in southern Lebanon,\u201d Anita Anand said in a statement, extending condolences to the victim\u2019s family and community.<\/p>\n
She said Canadian officials are in contact with the family to provide consular assistance as needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cCanada firmly supports the Lebanese government\u2019s efforts to restore and exercise full state authority, including through the disarmament of Hezbollah,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe call on Israel to cease its attacks and encourage Israel and Lebanon to reach a durable, diplomatic solution to end the conflict,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Anand did not identify the victim or attribute responsibility for the killing.<\/p>\n
The victim was identified as Mohamad Hassan Haidar, a 38-year-old Ontario resident and father of five, who was killed last week while attempting to help someone during a drone strike, according to Canada’s public broadcaster CBC.<\/p>\n
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) said Haidar was killed in the Israeli strike.<\/p>\n
