Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 11 people on Saturday, marking the deadliest violence since an Israel-Hezbollah truce took effect on 20 June. The attacks risk further undermining a framework agreement intended to secure an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and advance stability, while Hezbollah remains outside the deal and rejects direct talks.

A strike on a house near Ansar killed seven people, including three children, and injured two; another in Deir al-Zahrani killed four and wounded 17, according to Lebanese authorities. Israel said it acted after an attack on its soldiers seriously wounded three troops, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and a commander in Ansar; Lebanese leaders said civilians were not legitimate targets and accused the strikes of damaging negotiations.
