Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has urged Washington and the international community to help stop Israeli attacks, which killed at least seven people today despite a truce and a framework deal aimed at halting the violence, AFP reports.
Aoun said the strikes, which damaged government premises and destroyed an out-of-service hospital, were “a dangerous escalation… reaching Lebanese state institutions” and health facilities.
He called on the international community — particularly the United States, which has sponsored direct Israel-Lebanon talks and a framework agreement between the sides in June — “to urgently act to stop these violations”.
Lebanon’s health ministry said that two men were killed in a town on the edge of the zone occupied by Israeli troops, while the two women were killed in Arab Salim, which sits well north of the occupied area.
The ministry later said a separate Israeli drone strike on Nabatieh al-Tahta in southern Lebanon had killed three people.
