Lebanon’s army accuses Israel of a deadly escalation in the country’s south in recent days that it says threatens a framework deal between the countries and the military’s efforts to implement it.

The army says in a statement that continued Israeli attacks in recent days “threaten existing understandings and arrangements, and hinder the army’s efforts to establish stability” in the region.
