A deadly Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon kills seven people and wounds three, according to Lebanese state media. The strike destroys a house near Ansar in the Nabatieh district. Israel says it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure after an incident involving Israeli soldiers. Multiple strikes also hit the Ali al-Taher Ridge and other areas of southern Lebanon. The attack is being reported as one of the deadliest since the June agreements that reduced fighting, putting the fragile ceasefire under fresh pressure. 

Saudi Arabia has been rocked by two separate overnight incidents involving key energy infrastructure, with a loud explosion reported in Jubail and a fire breaking out at a Saudi Aramco facility in Jazan. Regional reports said a powerful blast rattled the Jubail area, with gas facilities inside the industrial city reportedly targeted. The exact cause of the explosion remains unclear, while authorities have yet to establish whether the incident was linked to any attack. Separately, a fire erupted at an Aramco facility in Jazan during the early hours, sending emergency crews into action. Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry confirmed the fire and said firefighting teams brought the blaze under control, with no injuries reported. The cause of the fire remains undisclosed as authorities continue their investigation and response. The two incidents have drawn attention because Jubail and Jazan are strategically important centres of Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure. However, the developments remain separate, and there is currently no confirmed connection between the reported Jubail explosion and the Jazan facility fire. WATCH
