  "account": "Lebanon reported that 11 individuals were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Saturday, marking the deadliest such attacks since the recent truce with Hezbollah. The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed that the strikes, which occurred early morning, targeted Ansar village, resulting in the deaths of three children and two women. The destroyed house was reportedly a Hezbollah base. Another strike in Deir al-Zahrani village claimed four lives and injured 17. Israeli forces claimed they were retaliating for an attack by Hezbollah militia. In response, Hezbollah vowed to retaliate appropriately, warning that Israeli attacks and attempts to impose a non-negotiated peace were unacceptable. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the strikes, emphasizing that the victims were not military targets. The conflict, which began in March, has resulted in over 4,300 deaths and prompted Israel to establish a security zone in southern Lebanon covering about 6% of the country's total area. Despite previous ceasefire agreements, tensions persist, with both sides accusing each other of violations.",
