Strikes by Israel on southern Lebanon killed at least one person, according to state media. The attacks underlined the continuing tension in the region.
According to the BBC, the strikes came a day after Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement brokered by the United States. Hezbollah issued a statement condemning the new deal.
The framework agreement was intended to reduce tension along the border. But the continuation of strikes points to the fragility of the understanding. The course of tension between the parties from here is being closely watched for regional stability.
