Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon have killed four people, according to local reports. The attacks, which destroyed a hospital and damaged a finance ministry building, occurred in retaliation for Hezbollah using drones to target Israeli troops, officials said. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun’s office condemned the strikes as a dangerous escalation, calling for international action to stop the violations of the ceasefire agreement.

The violence comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israeli forces reporting intermittent shelling in the Doha Kfar Rumman area. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, warned that the conflict could expand to include areas in the Gulf. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Iran over stalled nuclear negotiations, highlighting the broader geopolitical stakes.

At least seven others were killed and over 20 injured in separate Israeli airstrikes, according to Anadolou Agency. The attacks have raised concerns about the stability of the region, with calls for urgent diplomatic intervention. The situation remains volatile as both sides continue to exchange fire, risking further escalation.
