Here is a rewritten version of the article in a neutral newsroom style:
At least 10 people, including high-ranking military personnel, have been killed in Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon. The incident occurred on Saturday, days after the United States-mediated talks between Israel and Lebanon resulted in a conditional truce.
According to reports, a brigadier general, a captain, and a soldier were killed in an Israeli strike on a military vehicle on the Khardali-Nabatieh road. The Israeli army stated that the attack took place in an “active combat zone” and that coordination with the Israeli army was required for movement in such areas.
The Lebanese army has condemned the attack, stating that it is aimed at thwarting efforts to reach a solution. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun described the attack as a “flagrant violation of Lebanese sovereignty and international laws and norms.” Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam also condemned the attack, calling it a “heinous crime” against Lebanon.
Foreign Ministry spokespersons from Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan have issued statements condemning the attack and expressing their rejection of Israeli aggression. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry has called for an immediate halt to Israeli aggressions against Lebanon.
Lebanese army commander General Rudolf Haykal is currently visiting Pakistan to discuss ceasefire agreements with his Pakistani counterpart. This visit comes as Pakistan continues to mediate talks between Israel and Iran, with Lebanese-Israeli tensions being a sticking point.
According to reports, more than 50 Lebanese army personnel have been killed in Israeli attacks since the start of the conflict on March 2. The incident marks the first time a high-ranking general has been killed in such an attack.
