Israeli Airstrike in Southern Lebanon Kills Nine Civilians

Rescue teams worked through the rubble following the predawn bombardment, which also left five other individuals injured.

International observers remain concerned as the cycle of hostility shows no sign of abating, further complicating diplomatic efforts to stabilize the volatile border zone.
