An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon killed seven people and wounded three early Saturday, one of the deadliest attacks since a precarious truce between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect on June 20.<\/p>

Israel and the Lebanese government announced a \u201cframework agreement\u201d on June 26, laying out a plan for Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon, in exchange for the disarmament of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group. It also envisions steps toward an eventual peace agreement between the two countries \u2014 which technically remain in a state of war nearly 80 years after Israel\u2019s establishment.<\/p>

Hezbollah has refused direct talks and wasn\u2019t party to the deal.<\/p>

Intense Israeli airstrikes early Saturday also hit the strategic Ali Taher hill, which overlooks parts of the southern city of Nabatiyeh and main roads leading to it, NNA reported. Despite the truce, Israel\u2019s military has continued its almost daily attacks on the area, which is north of the Litani River and has been a de facto boundary in Lebanon, with large areas to the south under Israeli military control.<\/p>

Earlier this month, two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion in southern Lebanon, the first Israeli deaths since the shaky truce. Hezbollah did not comment on the blast.<\/p>
