The Israel Defense Forces have launched extensive strikes in the Shihin area of southern Lebanon and along the border, according to the military. The operation comes in response to hostile aircraft that penetrated and struck northern Israel earlier today.
The IDF has expanded its strikes in the Shihin area of southern Lebanon, following a new declaration that the operation is in response to hostile aircraft that successfully penetrated and struck northern Israel earlier today (12:32 Jerusalem).
The Shihin area is now the focus of an intensified bombing campaign. This continues a thread of IDF strikes in southern Lebanon across recent days. As The Zioneer reported at 12:14 Jerusalem, initial strikes targeted the same area. Earlier, at 07:06 Jerusalem, the IDF struck multiple targets in southern Lebanon overnight, including the Nabatieh area, al-Abbasiya, and others, according to Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen. At 00:42 Jerusalem, multiple strikes were reported in several areas of southern Lebanon.
The military's specific mention of hostile aircraft hitting Israeli territory marks a notable escalation in the current round of cross-border exchanges, as the IDF frames its response to a direct, successful strike on northern Israel.
