Israeli strikes kill seven in southern Lebanon despite truce

Israeli airstrikes on a village in southern Lebanon killed at least seven people overnight, marking the deadliest escalation since the ceasefire began two months ago. Reporting from Beirut, FRANCE 24 correspondent Renée Davis described the strikes as an important escalation in the region, despite what she called the “so-called truce.” Davis also provided an update on ongoing negotiations between the parties, though no further details were immediately available. The overnight attack targeted a single village, with local officials confirming the death toll. The strike is the latest in a series of incidents that have strained the fragile calm established two months ago. Observers note that while the truce has largely held, incidents like this raise concerns about a broader return to hostilities.
