Lebanese channels report the Israeli Air Force launched multiple airstrikes in southern Lebanon after 16:00 Friday — the time Reuters reported a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was to take effect. According to those channels, five strikes hit Nabatieh al-Fawqa alone, with additional targets in Rihan, Kfar Tabnit, Adshish, and other villages. The IDF has not commented. The timing, if confirmed, would mean the attacks occurred after a declared ceasefire began.
Lebanese channels claimed the Israeli Air Force carried out at least 11 airstrikes across southern Lebanon on Friday afternoon after a reported ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect at 16:00, according to Reuters. The strikes were concentrated in the Nabatieh district, with five hits reported in Nabatieh al-Fawqa alone. Additional targets include the villages of Rihan, Kfar Tabnit, Adshish, Kaqaiyat al-Jisr, Shoukin, Jabal Rafi, Abba, Mifdoun, Zabadin, and Habboush.
The 16:00 ceasefire was reported by Reuters citing a senior US official, but no official confirmation has been issued by the Israeli government or the IDF. As The Zioneer reported in a preceding bulletin (16:10 Jerusalem), the IAF struck three southern Lebanon villages — Kouthariya al-Siyad, Shoukin, and Zibdin — minutes before the deadline. If the Lebanese reports of post-16:00 strikes are accurate, those would represent strikes after the ceasefire's nominal start.
The IDF has not commented on the reported post-ceasefire strikes. It remains unclear whether the strikes targeted active threats — such as Hezbollah rocket crews or infrastructure — or whether the ceasefire itself has been formally acknowledged or implemented by all sides. No casualty figures are yet available.
