Lebanese Leaders Condemn Israeli Airstrikes Amid Rising Border TensionsPreviousNext

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and President Joseph Aoun condemned Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, which killed at least 11 civilians, including children and women. Salam described the victims as non-military targets, while Aoun said the strikes undermined ongoing negotiations and violated agreements. Israel stated the strikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in response to an alleged attack on Israeli troops near the Ali al-Taher Ridge. Tensions remain high along the Israel-Lebanon border amid these developments.
