Seven killed, three injured in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon in latest ceasefire violation
At least seven people have been killed and several others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, despite US-mediated face-to-face negotiations between Beirut and Tel Aviv on a plan to establish “pilot zones” in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli warplanes struck a house on the outskirts of the town of Ansar, killed seven people and wounded three others, and destroyed the home early on Saturday.
Civil defense teams from the Islamic Health Authority, the Islamic Risala Scout Association and the Lebanese Red Cross evacuated the dead and injured from the targeted areas, NNA added.

Local news outlets said three Israeli air attacks struck the outskirts of Ansar in the Nabatieh district at dawn, as well as the Ali al-Taher hill on the fringes of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
Civil defense officials said the reported death toll was preliminary as rescue and search operations continue at the affected site.
The latest attacks came amid continued Israeli violations of the fragile ceasefire that has been in effect since April 17, 2026, and despite a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran to end hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon.
Even though Beirut and Tel Aviv signed a so-called framework agreement on June 26 under US sponsorship, the Israeli military has continued its assault on Lebanon, which began on March 2 and has killed 4,335 people and injured 12,277 others.
Israel maintains its occupation of regions in southern Lebanon, with some areas being held for decades and others since the war of 2023-2024, as its military has penetrated over 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) into Lebanese land during the current onslaught.
