Israeli strikes kill seven in southern Lebanon hours after ceasefire reports emerge — footage from June 20
In reporting from June 20, 2026, French broadcaster France 24 covered Israeli military strikes on southern Lebanon that killed at least seven people, including two children, occurring hours after reports emerged of a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran. The persistent fighting threatened that interim US-Iran agreement. According to Yossi Mekelberg, senior consulting fellow at the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, Netanyahu risks losing Trump administration support if Israeli strikes continue during the proposed ceasefire period.
