Lebanese President Aoun condemns IDF strikes, calls them violation of framework agreement

Aoun and Salam called for an end to Israeli strikes after the IDF targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon as a breach of the Framework Agreement, according to a post on his X/Twitter account. The strikes targeted Hezbollah's military installations in the village of Ansar, following what the IDF claimed were aggressive actions by Hezbollah forces. The Israeli retaliatory strikes resulted in the death of seven individuals, including three women and two children, according to Lebanese state media.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam also condemned the IDF strikes, urging Israel to cease its military escalation in Southern Lebanon. The ongoing negotiations for the trilateral framework agreement between Israel, Lebanon, and the United States remain uncertain as the IDF maintains its presence in the region and Hezbollah refuses to disarm.
