Several soldiers killed in Israeli strike on Lebanon

Article excerpt

An Israeli strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon killed several soldiers, Lebanon's military announced Saturday, just days after the two countries agreed to a conditional ceasefire following U.S.-brokered talks. The attack underscores the fragility of the truce, which both nations had positioned as a breakthrough in their long-running conflict. The incident raises immediate questions about whether the ceasefire framework, negotiated in Washington, can withstand military escalations on either side.
