Nine people were killed in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, AFP and other foreign media reported on the 15th (local time), citing local Lebanese media.

Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) stated that "enemy warplanes launched an airstrike early this morning on a house on the outskirts of the village of Ansar, killing 7 people and injuring 3."

The casualties reportedly included three children and two women.

Two additional people were killed in the village of Deir al-Zahrani.

AFP noted that this is the highest death toll resulting from a single incident since the truce agreement in June.

The Israeli military reportedly struck parts of the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh and the Ali al-Taher hill within the Israeli military buffer zone.

Israel has continued to attack the region almost daily despite the truce.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated, "The death of an entire family in the village of Ansar is a violation of the basic agreement and international law concerning the protection of civilians, and it will serve as a clear message to the negotiation process."

The Israeli military authorities stated, "This airstrike was carried out in response to a violation of the agreement where Hezbollah attacked our troops in the security zone."

Following successive truce agreements on April 17 and June 20, Israel has continued intermittent attacks, designating southern Lebanon as a hideout for the pro-Iran militant group Hezbollah.

On the 6th, clashes between the two sides resulted in the first death of an Israeli soldier since the June truce.

The "basic agreement" signed by Israel and Lebanon in June includes plans for Hezbollah to disarm and the Israeli military to withdraw from southern Lebanon.

Israel and Lebanon have held seven rounds of negotiations so far, including recent talks in Rome.

However, Hezbollah has refused to disarm, arguing that the Lebanese government is making concessions without guarantees of an Israeli military withdrawal.

The eighth round of negotiations will be held in Rome next month.

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah began on March 2, two days after the outbreak of the war with Iran, when Hezbollah attacked Israel to support Iran.

Currently, the Israeli-occupied areas in Lebanon are separated by a line that Israel refers to as the "Yellow Line."

This zone accounts for about 6% of Lebanese territory and extends approximately 10 kilometers inland from the unofficial border between the two countries.
