Lebanon's central bank condemned a "direct and deliberate" Israeli airstrike on its Nabatieh branch on June 21, calling the action an attack on Lebanese state institutions.
The attack caused only material damage as the building was unoccupied at the time. The bank urged the United States and allies to ensure the protection of civilians and official institutions amid ongoing conflicts between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
Despite a ceasefire agreement announced on June 20, clashes continued, resulting in casualties in the region. The situation remains tense as Hezbollah confronts Israeli infiltrations in the area.
