New Israeli Drone Strike Kills Four Civilians in Southern Lebanon Amid Relentless Truce Violations

At least four people, including three women, have been killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon, Lebanese media reported, in the latest breach of a US-mediated framework agreement.

According to local reports, the drone fired a guided missile at a passing car near a teachers’ training institute in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, killing all four people inside.

Among the deceased are a school principal, her mother, a Syrian national, and a domestic worker from abroad.

In related reporting, Lebanese media outlets also described an Israeli attack near the Ali Taher Ridge sector in the same vicinity

Israel has hit Nabatieh multiple times in recent days.

The strike comes despite a framework agreement signed by Lebanese authorities and Israel in Washington on June 26 under US mediation.

Israel has continued near-daily attacks in Lebanon since then, including bombardments of residential areas and civilian infrastructure in the south.

The Hezbollah resistance movement has denounced the agreement, calling it a “humiliation,” a “disgrace,” and a surrender of Lebanese sovereignty.

Amid fragile negotiations between Iran and the US, Iran has said that ending the Israeli aggression on Lebanon is an “inseparable” part of any deal with Washington to halt hostilities permanently.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier said that Israel’s continued occupation of southern Lebanon would violate the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, adding that “without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied during this war, the war has not fully come to an end”.

Israeli troops continue to occupy a self-declared “security zone” extending about 10 kilometers into Lebanese territory.

According to Lebanese health authorities, since March 2, 2026, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed at least 4,303 people, injured 12,202 others, and displaced more than 1.6 million.
