According to Lebanon's state news agency NNA, new Israeli attacks occurred in southern Lebanon overnight Saturday, Al Jazeera reports.

In total, at least 4,335 people have been killed and 12,273 injured since the first attacks in early March.

In late June, Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement to achieve long-term peace, disarm the Iran-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah, and lay the groundwork for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory. Lebanon has since reported recurring Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah is not part of the negotiations.
