An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon kills Lebanese troops days after ceasefire
An Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon killed nine people, including three Lebanese military personnel, despite a recent ceasefire agreement. The Lebanese government condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty, while Israel stated the strike targeted a vehicle suspected of facilitating Hezbollah operations.
