The Lebanese Army said that an Israeli airstrike targeting a military vehicle has killed two officers and one soldier, according to a statement released Saturday morning.

Calling it an "aggressive and barbaric raid," officials said the strike hit "a military vehicle on the Kafr Tibnit - Kharbital (Nabatieh) road, resulting in the martyrdom of two officers, with ranks of brigadier general and captain, and a soldier," according to the Lebanese Army.

"The continuation of the Israeli brutal, deliberate, and repeated aggression against Lebanon and its people and army only increases our steadfastness, faith, and determination to confront these aggressive attempts aimed at thwarting all efforts to reach a solution that allows for the restoration of stability, a comprehensive ceasefire, and the Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories," the statement said.

U.S. forces helped shoot down incoming Iranian missiles and drones shot toward Kuwait and Bahrain, U.S. Central Command said.

The barrage fired at Iran's Gulf neighbors -- a total of seven ballistic missiles -- came hours after U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM said in a social media post.

“Initial assessments indicate six of the missiles launched by Iran were intercepted and a seventh did not reach its intended target," the post stated. "There are currently no reports of harm to U.S. personnel, and Iranian claims of damaging U.S. 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain are false."

CENTCOM said the earlier launch of Iran's attack drones "posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic" and, in response, the U.S. struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to "defend against further maritime attacks."

The U.S. military recently shot down four Iranian drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Friday.

"The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," CENTCOM said.

In response, CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck "Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites" in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island "to defend against further attacks."

This is the latest incident during the ceasefire where CENTCOM has said it defended against an Iranian action and then launched strikes at Iranian targets.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry claimed the U.S. carried out attacks on an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, and that these operations were launched from Kuwait and Bahrain.

Iran condemned the incidents as violations of a previous ceasefire agreement and of international law, specifically citing the UN Charter’s prohibition on the use of force.

The statement also accuses Kuwait and Bahrain of enabling the attacks by allowing their territory or facilities to be used, and argues that this makes them partially responsible under international law.

Iran also said that any country assisting such actions would be violating principles of good neighborliness and could be considered complicit in aggression against Iran, placing ultimate responsibility on the U.S. and its alleged partners.

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio repeated the claim that Iran desired to build a nuclear weapon and was on the cusp of developing a shield of conventional arms that would allow it to pursue that goal.

"The president chose to act to deny them that point of immunity," Rubio said.

On the odds of an agreement to end the war, Rubio commented on the difficulties of the indirect negotiations, but still asserted a deal was possible.

“There is the prospect before us, which could happen today, it could happen tomorrow, it could happen next week,” he said.

Rubio said Iran had agreed to hold negotiations on its nuclear program.

"That is not a guarantee that ultimately it will lead to a deal that's acceptable to the Senate or acceptable to the American people, but we'll be able to engage them in a process to truly test the proposition of how far they're willing to go,” he said.
