An Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle escorted by a Lebanese army vehicle in Bint Jbeil district on Sunday, wounding five soldiers and several civilians, the Lebanese army said. The attack comes amid a fragile ceasefire that has been repeatedly extended since March and after Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement in June.
The Strike
The Lebanese army said an Israeli drone targeted a civilian vehicle escorted by a military vehicle in Kafra, Bint Jbeil district, lightly wounding five soldiers. The state news agency NNA reported that civilians were also injured. The Israeli military also triggered explosions in Taybe and Kunin villages, and threw a stun grenade at an abandoned house in Mansouri, according to NNA. An Israeli drone was seen flying at low altitude over Beirut throughout the morning.
Ceasefire Context
Israel launched heavy airstrikes on Lebanon on March 2, occupying multiple villages in the south. The Lebanese government says over 1 million people have been displaced, and the health ministry reports 4,333 killed since the offensive began. A temporary 10‑day ceasefire took effect on April 17, was extended by three weeks, then for 45 days from May 17 after US‑mediated talks. On June 26, Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement following a fifth round of direct negotiations in Washington.
What's Next
The Lebanese army has not announced any retaliatory action. It remains unclear whether the strike will derail the fragile truce that has been underpinned by the June framework agreement.
