At least 11 people, including three children, have been killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon. The attacks, which Israel says targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, occurred in several locations, including a house in the village of Ansar and the town of Deir Zahrani.
Lebanese officials have condemned the strikes as a threat to ongoing negotiations and the country's sovereignty. According to Lebanon's state news agency, the strikes are among the deadliest since a US-mediated peace framework was agreed in June.
Hezbollah has warned that the Israeli attacks will be met with an "appropriate response". The group also urged Lebanese authorities to abandon what it called the "humiliating path of direct negotiations". Israel and Lebanon are set to hold an eighth round of US-sponsored direct negotiations in Rome next month.
