Israeli strike kills seven in south Lebanon as attacks intensify
Deadliest Israeli attack in Lebanon since June agreements significantly reduced hostilities.
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.
