Shafaq News- Beirut

An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the southern
Lebanese village of Nabatieh Al-Fawqa killed four people on Monday, Lebanon’s
Health Ministry reported, amid continued attacks on the south.

Local media identified the victims as the principal of
Youssef Chamoun Public School, her mother, a foreign domestic worker, and a
Syrian worker after the drone hit their Jeep Cherokee near the Teachers’
Training College.

Israeli drones also struck Kfartebnit in Nabatieh
district, dropped two stun grenades over Nabatieh Al-Fawqa within 15 minutes,
and released another near the wooded outskirts of Al-Mansouri in Tyre district,
while Israeli forces demolished homes in Aitaroun, Kounine, and Houla in Bint
Jbeil and Marjayoun districts and surveillance drones flew over Beirut, the
capital’s southern suburbs, the Zahrani area, Tyre, and nearby towns.

The Health Ministry put the cumulative toll from the war
between March 2 and July 6 at 4,319 people killed and 12,203 others wounded,
including women and children.

President Joseph Aoun renewed calls for the Lebanese
Army to deploy along the entire southern border and urged greater international
pressure on Israel to end its presence in occupied Lebanese territory. Continued
Israeli control, he argued, would undermine joint US-Lebanese efforts to
restore state sovereignty, prevent the Army’s full deployment, and weaken
prospects for a lasting peace.

Lebanon and Israel advanced a US-brokered security
framework on June 26 that outlines a phased Israeli pullback from southern
Lebanon in exchange for extending army control and disarming armed groups.
Hezbollah and several Lebanese political factions opposed the plan, while
Israel insists any redeployment remains conditional on Hezbollah’s disarmament.
A reported security annex would also preserve Israeli operational freedom in
the south without setting a timetable for a complete exit.

A day earlier, Israel’s public broadcaster said military
officers from both sides had opened a US-mediated communication channel to
define the boundaries of a proposed “Hezbollah-free zone” ahead of a pilot
withdrawal from two southern Lebanese villages. Within that channel, Israel had
submitted a list of Lebanese Army officers it suspects of sharing information
with Hezbollah, requesting their exclusion from the mechanism.

Netanyahu previously identified Zawtar Al-Gharbiya and
Froun as the first two locations included in the pilot phase, although Froun’s
municipal council rejected the designation, maintaining that the town is
neither under Israeli occupation nor within the so-called Yellow Line.
