Lebanese president condemns Israeli strikes that killed civilians
Lebanese president Joseph Aoun condemned Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon after attacks on Ansar and Deir al-Zahrani killed 11 people, including children, according to Lebanon's health ministry. The Lebanese presidency said strikes around Nabatieh violated the June framework agreement, military coordination mechanisms and protections for civilians. Israel said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure after an action near the Nabatieh ridge, while Hezbollah did not claim responsibility. The strikes add uncertainty to US-mediated talks that aim to sequence Israeli withdrawal, Lebanese army deployment and verification of Hezbollah disarmament, and drew criticism from US officials.
