The strikes have been ongoing since the morning, with multiple targets hit from the air and ground. No immediate reports on casualties.
The Israeli Air Force struck multiple targets in southern Lebanon on Saturday afternoon, with a drone reportedly carrying out a targeted strike on a motorcycle, according to Israeli reports. The operation, which began in the morning, involved both aerial and ground strikes. This development comes a day after a series of drone strikes on Friday that Lebanese channels reported killed at least two people and wounded four others across several locations, including Kafr Rumman, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Shoukin, Qaaqaiyet al-Jisr, and Shebaa. The Friday strikes, initially reported as a drone hitting a pickup truck in the Shokin area wounding two, later escalated to a higher casualty toll as additional strikes were confirmed.
Friday's thread evolved rapidly: at 11:31 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported a drone strike on a pickup truck in the Shokin area of the Nabatieh district wounding two, per Lebanese sources. A second version at the same time confirmed the location and reiterated the two wounded. By the third version, Lebanese channels cited by Abu Ali Express reported that a series of strikes had killed at least two and wounded four, with a second strike in Kafr Rumman adding to the toll. The reports remained unconfirmed by official Israeli or Lebanese sources.
The Zioneer has tracked a sustained pattern of drone strikes and air force operations in southern Lebanon since early June, including a motorcycle strike on June 7, a precision strike on a vehicle on June 18, and four drone strikes on June 27. This context, as previously reported, underscores the ongoing tension in the area.
No details on casualties or the identity of the motorcycle target in Saturday's strike were immediately available, and the reports remain unverified by official sources. The extent of the broader operation—whether it is a single-day campaign or a continuation of Friday's strikes—has not been clarified.
