Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday killed at least seven people. The attacks included a strike on Nabatieh al-Fawqa that killed two people and an attack on Arab Salim that killed two women.
The Israeli military stated that the operations were in retaliation for Hezbollah firing two drones at Israeli soldiers stationed in a region declared as a security zone. The strikes damaged state offices and destroyed an out-of-service hospital, occurring despite a truce framework deal.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called the strikes a dangerous escalation that targeted civilian infrastructure. He appealed to the international community and the United States to take immediate action to stop these violations of the ceasefire agreement.
These events occur as negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli officials struggle to make progress, with civilians in southern Lebanon paying a heavy price for the ongoing clashes.
