Israeli Airstrikes Target Southern Lebanon, At Least 11 Killed

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have killed at least 11 people, representing the most severe attacks since a truce with Hezbollah started on June 20. The Israeli military stated these strikes were a response to an action by Hezbollah. This escalation occurs despite a June 26 framework agreement regarding Israeli force withdrawal and Hezbollah disarmament. The incident highlights the fragility of the ceasefire, potentially complicating diplomatic efforts and risking further escalation within the wider Middle East region.
