Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported59m ago
Lebanon's president has called for United States assistance as ongoing Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon kill at least seven people. The latest military action resulted in damage to state offices and the destruction of an out-of-service hospital, persisting despite a truce framework deal.
Israel stated that its strikes specifically targeted Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure. According to the Israeli military, the action was carried out in response to a drone attack launched a day earlier by the Iran-backed group against Israeli troops stationed near a strategic ridge in southern Lebanon.
