Israeli Forces Kill Two in Lebanon Before Truce Meeting

Representatives from France, Israel, Lebanon, the US and UN tracking the ceasefire are due to meet amid Israeli attacks.

Israeli forces killed two individuals in southern Lebanon just before a ceasefire monitoring committee meeting involving France, Israel, Lebanon, the US, and the UN. The Israeli military claimed the strikes targeted Hezbollah operatives, while Israeli attacks have resulted in over 300 deaths in Lebanon since the November 2024 ceasefire. UN officials reported ongoing airstrikes near peacekeepers and expressed concern over escalating violence. Lebanese President Aoun criticized Israel’s actions, asserting they undermine efforts to stabilize the region.
