The IDF is continuing attacks in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon overnight, according to Lebanese reports citing casualties and fatalities. The strikes come amid a night of fighting in the area. Details on specific targets remain unconfirmed.
The IDF is continuing strikes in the Nabatieh district for a third night, with Lebanese reports now citing casualties and fatalities from the ongoing operations. The latest reports, which arrived after 03:00, indicate the campaign has persisted into the pre-dawn hours, though specific targets and the scope of the current wave remain unconfirmed.
Zioneer first reported IDF strikes in Nabatieh at 01:43 on Friday morning, initially from a single Israeli source. Within the same hour, Lebanese reports cited by analyst Yair Goldblatt detailed artillery and airstrikes hitting six villages — Kfar Rumman, Kfar Zabadin, Kfar Juz, Kfar Habush, Kfar Tabnit, and the city of Nabatieh itself. By 03:30, a single-source report described clashes on the outskirts of the city, including an unverified claim that a Hezbollah anti-tank guided missile struck an IDF tank. The current casualty reports, still unverified by independent sources, mark the first suggestion of human harm in this specific wave.
The wider Nabatieh campaign has been active for over two weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 12, IDF strikes targeted the city and four nearby villages earlier in the week. On June 13, ground forces were reported advancing toward Kfar Tebnit and Nabatieh from Arnoun, with heavy shelling underway. The June 17 bulletin noted strikes in the area after Hezbollah fired at Israeli troops.
The IDF has not issued an official statement on tonight's operations. The scope of the latest strikes, the identity of targets, and the number of casualties remain unverified by independent sources, and no clarification has been received from the military.
