Fragile Ceasefire: Further Escalation in Southern Lebanon - Negotiations at Risk?
Despite a ceasefire, Israel and Hezbollah have again clashed in southern Lebanon. Following attacks that killed at least eleven people, the future of talks expected in September is also uncertain.
The Israeli army has killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a strike in Deir al-Sahrani, southern Lebanon, on Saturday. The attack, which Lebanon said killed four and injured 17, was part of two Israeli air raids that killed at least 11 and injured 19, according to Beirut's health ministry. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the army said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah violations of a June ceasefire agreement.
The Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam described the attacks as an "extremely serious matter" that undermines stabilisation efforts.
