Nine people, including three Lebanese soldiers, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on Saturday, in a setback to efforts aimed at preserving a newly announced ceasefire between Jerusalem and Beirut.
In a statement, the Lebanese army said a brigadier general, a captain and another soldier died when a military vehicle was struck on a road between Khardali and Nabatieh. The attack came just days after Lebanese and Israeli officials agreed to a new US-brokered framework intended to reduce hostilities along the border.
