TL;DR

The Israeli Air Force struck dozens of terror targets in southern Lebanon overnight, with airstrikes continuing through the morning, according to the IDF. Lebanese sources report at least five killed and dozens wounded in the wave of strikes.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Overnight into Saturday, the Israeli Air Force struck dozens of terror targets in southern Lebanon, with reports indicating at least five killed in the attacks. The IDF confirmed the strikes against terror infrastructure in the area and noted that airstrikes were continuing as of Saturday morning. Lebanese sources report dozens of wounded as well.

This is the latest in a sustained campaign of strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported around 09:43 on Saturday, the IAF launched strikes on dozens of Hezbollah targets starting at 00:00, hours after a declared ceasefire had been announced — and earlier that morning, at 08:30, Lebanese sources reported at least five killed from a separate strike. The current report reframes the same overnight operation with updated casualty counts from the Lebanese side and confirmation of ongoing air activity.

Lebanese casualty figures, which are not independently verified, do not distinguish between combatants and civilians. The IDF has not provided its own casualty assessment for this wave.
