Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon kills 7 people, Lebanese state media say

BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon killed seven people early Saturday, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said. The strike wounded three others.

Paramedics are still searching through the rubble, the agency reported.

The death toll from the airstrike makes it one of the deadliest since Lebanon and Israel announced a “framework agreement” on June 26, laying out a plan for Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon, in exchange for the disarmament of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group.
