Israeli Airstrike in Southern Lebanon Kills Seven, Wounds ThreePreviousNext

An Israeli airstrike on a home near the southern Lebanese village of Ansar killed seven people and wounded three others, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency. The strike destroyed the home, with rescuers searching through rubble for casualties. This attack is among the deadliest since a June framework agreement aimed at reducing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Despite the agreement, intermittent Israeli strikes and violence continue in southern Lebanon.
