Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon killed between 7 and 11 people, according to different reports, with the death toll making it the deadliest day since a June ceasefire framework agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. Among those killed were three children and two women, struck in villages including Ansar in the Nabatieh district. Lebanon's prime minister condemned the attacks as targeting civilians in their homes, while Israel said it was striking Hezbollah infrastructure and killed a senior Hezbollah commander. Hezbollah warned the attacks would be met with an appropriate response, raising concerns about risks to the peace agreement.
