Israeli airstrike kills seven people in southern Lebanon

An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon killed seven people and wounded three early Saturday, striking a home in the village of Ansar. The attack is described as one of the deadliest since a truce between Israel and Hezbollah took effect in June 2026. The strikes also hit other areas including the Ali al-Taher Ridge near Nabatieh, drawing condemnation from Lebanese officials.
