01 · THE DISPATCH

Minutes ago, the Israeli Air Force struck the Nabatieh al-Fawqa area in southern Lebanon, according to a single Arabic-language source. The strike follows a pattern of sustained IAF operations in the Nabatieh district. Earlier today (Friday), as reported by The Zioneer, two waves of strikes hit the broader Nabatieh area, with the first wave reported at 07:37 Jerusalem. That initial reporting was corroborated by additional footage released shortly afterward, showing the strikes in the area.

At 07:37 Jerusalem — the timestamp of version 4 of The Zioneer's earlier story — the IAF was reported to have carried out two waves of strikes in and around Nabatieh. Prior to that, at 07:37 Jerusalem in the same hour, The Zioneer reported a single IAF airstrike on Nabatieh al-Fawqa, followed within minutes by a second airstrike on the same area. All reports to date rely on a single source, the 301 Arab World Telegram outlet. No details about the specific targets, scale, or casualties have been released.

The Nabatieh district has been a recurring target of IAF operations over recent weeks. The Zioneer reported on Jun 12 that the IDF had struck multiple towns in the area, including Nabatieh city and surrounding villages. On Jun 13, heavy airstrikes were reported on Nabatieh and the nearby locality of Ruman. On Jun 14, the IAF struck 10 towns in the Nabatieh district since midnight. More recently, on Jun 25, a targeted strike in the Nabatieh area eliminated operatives on site, according to a single source.

The specific target of tonight's strike, and any casualties or damage, have not yet been reported. The reporting relies on a single, unverified source, and no official confirmation from Israeli or Lebanese authorities has been issued.
