Israeli fighter jets struck the villages of Mifdun, Zutar, and Nabatieh al-Fawqa in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon a short time ago, the IDF says. Details on targets and casualties have not yet been reported.
Tonight, the IDF confirmed a new wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon — extending operations reported earlier this evening. At 22:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the first strike on the Shiite village of Mifdun in the Nabatieh district, based on Lebanese sources cited by analyst Yair Goldblatt. By 22:33 Jerusalem, the IDF officially confirmed that fighter jets carried out that strike. Now, the military has announced additional strikes on the villages of Zutar and Nabatieh al-Fawqa in the same district, expanding the scope of the operation. No details on the specific targets or any casualties have been released.
The sequence unfolded rapidly Sunday evening. At 22:21 Jerusalem, initial reports, citing Lebanese sources, described a strike in Mifdun, with video footage of the aftermath emerging shortly thereafter within the same minute of publication. The IDF's confirmation at 22:33 Jerusalem established official backing for the initial claims. The latest dispatch, dated 22:34 Jerusalem, adds two more villages to the list of affected locations, marking a significant escalation in the scope of the operation within a short timeframe.
As The Zioneer has reported throughout June, the Nabatieh district has been a focus of repeated IDF strikes. Operations on June 5, 12, and 17 targeted the broader area, including the city of Nabatieh and villages such as Jabbashit and Arnoun. A separate strike on the al-Tibnah area was reported on June 17. At that time, the information came from a mix of Israeli military sources and local reporters, with confirmation levels varying from single-source claims to official statements.
What remains open and unverified: the specific targets of tonight's strikes have not been disclosed, and no casualty figures — whether militant or civilian — have been reported from any of the three villages. The IDF has not indicated whether the operation is ongoing.
