00:00Lebanese leaders have condemned strikes by Israel on southern Lebanon that killed at
00:05least 11 people, including three children and two women.
00:08The attacks hit Anzar and Deir al-Zahrani in one of Lebanon's deadliest incidents since
00:14a U.S.-led framework agreement aimed at easing hostilities was reached in June.
00:19With the two sides scheduled to continue talks in Rome next month, Lebanese President Joseph
00:24Aoun said the strike sent a clear message on the negotiation process and U.S. efforts
00:28to implement the agreement.
00:31Israel said its strikes came in response to a Hezbollah attack on IDF troops in the Ali
00:35Al-Tahar Ridge Security Zone.
00:37Beyond the Israeli response, Hezbollah warned that the latest attacks would be met with an
00:42appropriate response and urged Lebanese authorities to stop pursuing U.S.-led negotiations.
00:50Under the June framework, Israeli forces were to gradually withdraw from Lebanon pending verified
00:56disarmament of non-state armed groups and dismantling of associated infrastructure.
