The Hezbollah-affiliated network Al-Mayadeen reports that Israeli fighter jets and drones conducted more than 130 airstrikes on the city of Nabatieh and surrounding towns in southern Lebanon over the past day. The claim is attributed to an Al-Mayadeen correspondent in the south. The intensity, if confirmed, would represent a major uptick in the air campaign against Hezbollah positions in the sector.
Al-Mayadeen, the Lebanon-based network aligned with Hezbollah, reported Saturday morning via its correspondent in the south that the Israeli Air Force and drone units have carried out more than 130 airstrikes on the city of Nabatieh and its surrounding villages over the past 24 hours. The report does not specify which town or target types were struck, nor does it provide casualty figures.
The claim follows a sustained Israeli aerial campaign against Hezbollah military infrastructure in the Nabatieh district. As The Zioneer previously reported, the Israeli Air Force has been conducting near-daily strikes on dozens of towns in the area throughout the week, with several prior reports describing heavy bombardment. Earlier on Saturday morning, an IDF artillery strike on northern Nabatieh was reported. The number cited by Al-Mayadeen — over 130 sorties in a single day — would represent a sharp escalation in tempo, though the figure remains unverified by Israeli or other independent sources. The IDF has not commented on the report.
