    A French soldier has been killed during anti-terror operation targeting ISIS in Iraq.<\/p>\n

    The fatality is the third in 10 days, according to The \u00c9lys\u00e9e Palace, France's presidential residence which issued a statement naming the soldier.<\/p>\n

    Sergeant Nicolas Mazier, an air force paratrooper, "fell in combat while carrying out his mission", the Palace confirmed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

    President Emmanuel Macron has shared his "profound respect" for Mazier's "sacrifice".<\/p>\n

    Operation Chammal has seen France deploy around 600 soldiers in Iraq to help the country's army out fighting against extremist groups such as ISIS.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    On Sunday, August 21 French military trainer Nicolas Latourte "lost his life while accomplishing his mission," Macron's office wrote on X.<\/p>\n

    Latourte's death was explained as happening during an "operational exercise" which involved instructing Iraqi troops. <\/p>\n

    The Ministry of the Armed Forces wrote: "In the evening, Adjutant Latourte was fatally wounded on the sidelines of an urban combat training exercise.<\/p>\n

    "He was immediately taken care of and transferred by helicopter to a military hospital in Erbil, where the medical team pronounced him dead."<\/p>\n

    Just a few days earlier another French soldier died in a road accident in Iraq.<\/p>\n

    Other breaking news to come out from around the world today includes the sentencing of a 32-year-old ISIS woman to 14 years in prison.<\/p>\n

    The unnamed sicko from Lower Saxony, Germany, was in her mid-20s when she fled to Iraq to join the extremist organisation.<\/p>\n

    During which time, she and her husband enslaved a Yazidi \u2013<\/span> native Kurdistan descent \u2013 and tortured her to death, watching on as she died of thirst in the blazing midday heat. <\/p>\n

    Around eight years on since her monstrous acts, the woman has been sent behind bars by a court in Munich for crimes against humanity. <\/p>\n
