An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed five people, including three children, all of whom held U.S. citizenship, according to Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker, Nabih Berri.

The Israeli military said it targeted a Hezbollah militant “operating from within a civilian population” but acknowledged that several uninvolved civilians were killed and that the incident is under review.

Lebanese officials, including President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, condemned the strike and called on the international community to pressure Israel to halt its attacks. The strike highlights ongoing tensions despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel.

This deadly attack on American citizens has escalated calls for international action and further intensified the fragile situation in the region.
