Lebanon's National News Agency reports that four Israeli airstrikes in the area near Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, killed four people and wounded others this afternoon. The strikes hit cars in the towns of Mayfadoun and Shoukine, according to NNA, and a second strike targeted the same location after locals gathered. The IDF has not commented.
Tonight, Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported a series of four Israeli airstrikes in the Nabatieh district that killed four people and wounded several others. According to NNA, the first strike was a drone attack on a car in Mayfadoun; after locals gathered at the scene, a second strike hit the same area. A third strike targeted another car in Mayfadoun, and a fourth struck a car in the adjacent town of Shoukine. The NNA report is the primary source; the IDF has not yet commented on the incidents. The strikes follow a sustained campaign of Israeli operations in southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah positions and infrastructure.
The thread began at 17:01 Jerusalem when the IDF confirmed an airstrike in Mifdun (Mayfadoun), with no details on casualties. Within minutes, Lebanese media reported drone strikes on the village; by 17:01, unofficial sources said two people were killed in the Miphdoun (Mifdun) area. At 17:01, the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar network cited four killed in drone strikes on three vehicles in Miphdoun; by 17:01, Israeli military correspondent Nir Dvori (N12) reported the strike was aimed at removing an immediate threat 2.5 km from the Israeli security zone. Also at 17:01, an initial Lebanese report put the toll in Mayfadoun at four killed, and another Lebanese outlet identified the dead as at least four Hezbollah operatives, noting a second strike on a gathered crowd. The Zioneer at 17:59 and 18:09 covered a separate strike killing four and then confirmed four Hezbollah operatives killed in Miphdoun. The current NNA account adds a fourth strike in Shoukine and the double-tap detail.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, the IDF has been conducting large-scale strikes across southern Lebanon, including over 80 targets on June 13 and multiple strikes in the Nabatieh area. A background strike on June 10 killed seven people across four separate attacks.
The NNA report does not specify the affiliation of the four killed—whether they were Hezbollah operatives or civilians. Earlier thread items, including the one that identified the dead as Hezbollah operatives, remain unverified by Israeli sources. The IDF has not commented on any of tonight's specific incidents.
