Israeli air attacks have killed at least 11 people in southern Lebanon, including two children and two medics, according to Lebanese state media. The latest strikes hit several areas as violence continues across southern Lebanon. Israeli strikes hit Kfar Reman Israeli warplanes struck a residential building in Kfar Reman early on Monday. Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) said nine people were killed, including two children. Five others were wounded. A separate Israeli drone attack hit a civilian vehicle in the town. Two medics inside the vehicle were killed, according to NNA. Israel strikes another residential area Israel also attacked a residential area in Deir al-Zahrani overnight. The Israeli military had issued an evacuation order before the strike. It said the target was a building near a Hezbollah facility that it claimed had been used to launch an explosive drone. Attacks continue across southern Lebanon The latest deaths follow another deadly day in the region. At least seven people were killed and 20 wounded in Israeli attacks on Arab Salim a day earlier. The violence has continued despite a US-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel reached in June. The agreement introduced pilot zones intended to allow the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah and Israeli forces to withdraw. However, the diplomatic process has stalled as Israeli forces continue to occupy areas of southern Lebanon. Thousands killed since March Lebanon’s Health Ministry says Israeli attacks have killed more than 4,350 people and wounded over 12,300 since the conflict escalated in early March. The ministry also reported 179 Israeli attacks on Lebanese ambulance crews since March 2, killing 135 healthcare workers.

Algeria has expanded its military aviation capabilities with the delivery of additional Russian fighter jets, reinforcing its longstanding defence relationship with Moscow. The North African country received a batch of Su-34M strike fighters in May, as part of a broader military arrangement between Algeria and Russia. The deliveries come as Russia continues to fulfil international aircraft orders despite pressure on its aviation industry and demand from its own armed forces. Russian aircraft deliveries continue Defense24 reported that Russia delivered another batch of Su-35S aircraft to its military at the end of August. That brought Russia’s reported combat aircraft deliveries to 14 so far this year, a relatively low figure compared with previous years when annual deliveries exceeded 20 and sometimes reached around 30 aircraft. TASS, citing Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation, reported projected domestic deliveries including Su-35S, Su-57, Su-34 and Su-30SM2 aircraft. At the same time, Moscow continues to fulfil export orders to countries including Algeria, Belarus and Myanmar. Defense24 reported that at least four Su-34 aircraft have been delivered to Algeria this year. Algeria strengthens its combat fleet Algeria already operates a substantial fleet of Russian-made military aircraft and remains one of Moscow’s most important defence partners in Africa. Algerian defence publications previously reported plans involving 14 Su-34ME, 14 Su-35E and 14 Su-57E fifth-generation fighters. The continued deliveries underline Algeria’s efforts to modernise its air force as military competition and defence spending remain significant across North Africa. Russia, meanwhile, retains Algeria as an important export customer as its aviation industry faces the competing demands of domestic military requirements and international orders.
