The Israeli Air Force opened a wave of strikes in southern Lebanon shortly after midnight Wednesday, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. Video footage from the Wadi Saluki area in southern Lebanon shows active strikes, though no details on the specific targets, the number of sorties, or any casualties have been reported.
The IAF has conducted repeated waves of strikes across southern Lebanon since June 2026, as The Zioneer has reported extensively, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure embedded in civilian areas. The strikes come on October 7, the third anniversary of the Hamas-led massacre, a date that carries significant symbolic weight in the ongoing conflict.
It remains unverified whether this wave is broader than previous operations or if it marks a new phase. The source is a single Israeli security analyst; independent confirmation from the IDF or Lebanese sources is pending.
