Overview
- Israeli forces carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon after accusing Hezbollah of breaching the ceasefire, and Lebanon’s state news agency said one person was killed and 12 were wounded in Tebnine.
- The Israeli military reported that two soldiers were killed and four were wounded in southern Lebanon, marking the first Israeli combat deaths since the June truce.
- The IDF issued a local evacuation order before the strikes, telling residents of Mansouri to move at least 1,000 meters north for their safety.
- Lebanese and Israeli negotiators are meeting in Rome to try to turn the June 26 framework into a pullback of Israeli forces and deployment of the Lebanese army, but fresh clashes and disputed incidents are complicating the talks.
- The fighting risks sharper escalation because Israeli troops still occupy parts of southern Lebanon, both sides regularly accuse each other of violations, and unclear incidents under investigation make attribution and diplomacy harder.
