Five people were killed on Friday when two French military helicopters collided in southern France.

The helicopters belonging to an army flight training school crashed near Carces lake about 50 kilometers northwest of Saint-Tropez.

“The helicopters collided. There were three crew [members] in one and two in the other. All are dead,” police said in the nearby town of Brignoles.

They added that one body had still to be recovered from the wreckage.

Some 20 troops joined two rescue helicopters and a police chopper at the crash scene, along with local officials.

The Polish government adopted a resolution on Thursday vowing to ensure the free and safe participation of the highest representatives of Israel — including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who choose to attend commemorations for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau later this month.
Netanyahu became an internationally wanted suspect last year after the International Criminal Court, the world’s top war crimes court, issued an arrest warrant for him and others in connection with the war in Gaza, accusing them of crimes against humanity, The Associated Press said.
Member countries of the ICC, such as Poland, are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil, but the court has no way to enforce that. Israel is not a member of the ICC and disputes its jurisdiction.
