Lebanon

Lebanon’s Health Ministry says an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed five people, including three children. The attack took place on Sunday. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said four of the victims, including the children's father, held U.S. citizenship. Israel has been striking southern and eastern Lebanon almost daily since a ceasefire with Hezbollah was reached in November. Lebanese officials warn these strikes risk destabilizing the country and hindering efforts to disarm Hezbollah. President Joseph Aoun condemned the attack and urged international pressure on Israel to stop. Hezbollah claims the strikes justify their refusal to disarm.
