Israeli strikes kill 11 in south Lebanon, health ministry says​

The strikes hit Hezbollah sites after an attack on Israeli soldiers, and Lebanon said women and children were among the dead.

  • On Saturday, Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed eleven people, including three children, marking the deadliest attacks since a precarious truce took effect on June 20.
  • The Israeli military stated it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in Ansar and Ali Taher in response to actions against Israeli soldiers, claiming the strikes were retaliatory operations.
  • Condemning the violence, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated the seven victims in Ansar were not 'military targets' and urged Israel to halt an 'extremely dangerous' escalation.
  • Defence Minister Israel Katz recently vowed to maintain troops in a 'security zone' in southern Lebanon, but a State Department official said such a permanent presence contradicts the framework agreement.
  • Israel and Lebanon are scheduled to hold an eighth round of US-sponsored negotiations in Rome early next month to address the deteriorating ceasefire and stability concerns.
