An explosive drone struck the parking area at Rosh Hanikra, on Israel's northern Mediterranean coast, wounding three people, one of them critically.
The Israeli military responded swiftly. "This is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreements," an IDF spokesman declared.
The timing could hardly be worse. The strike comes on the very day that Lebanese and Israeli government delegations are set to open a third round of direct negotiations in Washington, talks aimed at consolidating a peace framework and moving beyond the fragile ceasefire that has held, imperfectly, since mid-April.
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit welcomed the framework agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel under US mediation, calling it an important step toward restoring Lebanese sovereignty and securing a full Israeli withdrawal from the south.
Lebanese Foreign Minister Joe Raggi received a call Saturday from his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi, who congratulated Beirut on signing the framework agreement with Israel negotiated under American auspices.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected a U.S.-brokered security agreement between Lebanon and Israel on Saturday a day after it was signed, describing it as a surrender to Israel.
