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.
