Israel announced an airstrike Monday against a building in Deir Azharani, in southern Lebanon, saying the site was linked to Hezbollah. Ella Waweya, the Israeli military's spokesperson to Arab media, urged residents and people nearby to leave their homes and remain at least 300 meters away.

Waweya said the building marked as a target belonged to Hezbollah, but provided no further details. She accompanied her message on X with an aerial photograph of the area and said the strike responded to what she called a "flagrant violation of the ceasefire" by Hezbollah, referring to an explosive drone launched at Israeli soldiers.

dangerous escalation

· Joseph AounLebanon's president condemned Israeli attacks on Nabatieh and surrounding areas.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Sunday's Israeli attacks on Nabatieh and surrounding towns. He said the strikes killed at least four people and injured 20, and described them as a "dangerous escalation" because they hit state institutions and health facilities.

According to a statement from the Lebanese presidency, Aoun said the bombardments went beyond repeated violations of the cessation-of-hostilities agreement and the framework agreement reached in June. He said the latest attacks also struck state institutions, facilities serving residents, a hospital and health centers. Lebanon's Health Ministry said Israeli attacks had killed 4,362 people and injured nearly 12,400 in Lebanon since March 2, shortly after the start of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
