Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon kills 7 people, Lebanese state media say
An Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon claimed the lives of seven individuals and injured three others early Saturday, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency. The death toll from the strike, which is one of the deadliest since a "framework agreement" was signed between Lebanon and Israel on June 26, marks a significant escalation in the region.
The agreement aimed to see Israeli forces withdraw from southern Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of Iran-backed Hezbollah. Rescue efforts are ongoing as paramedics sift through the debris, highlighting the severity of the incident.
