Truce on the Brink: Israeli Strikes Kill 11 in Lebanon, Deadliest Since Ceasefire

Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon killed at least 11 people on Saturday, marking the deadliest attacks since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on June 20. Lebanon’s health ministry and state news agency reported that one strike hit a home on the edge of Ansar village, killing seven people, including three children, and wounding two others. A second strike on the village of Deir al-Zahrani killed four people and wounded 17. The attacks come as a major test to the fragile truce. Israel and the Lebanese government had previously announced a “framework agreement” aimed at maintaining calm along the border.
