Israel bombs Syria-Lebanon border crossings; kills 2 in south Lebanon

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemns Israel’s “policy of systematic aggression” targeting civilians in Lebanon, following recent air strikes in southern Lebanese villages and towns that resulted in casualties. Despite a US-brokered ceasefire in 2024, Israel continues to violate agreements, leading to further escalation. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reports at least 19 people wounded in the attacks, with Israeli military targeting border crossings and alleged Hezbollah weapons smugglers. The Lebanese army denounces the violations of sovereignty and ceasefire deal, hindering disarmament efforts for Hezbollah.
