Israeli drones carried out fresh strikes on Lebanese territory despite a framework agreement, brokered by the US, that was intended to de-escalate hostilities between the two sides. The latest strikes reportedly left two people injured.

Amnesty International called for an independent investigation into earlier Israeli attacks that killed 24 civilians. The organisation said the strikes should be examined for compliance with international humanitarian law.

The continuation of the strikes raises questions about the durability of the US-brokered framework deal. Lebanon's government and international observers are closely watching the ongoing military activity despite the agreement.
