Lebanese channels report that the IDF fired phosphorus shells at the Ali al-Taher ridge in the Nabatieh district. The claim is unverified by an official IDF statement. The ridge has been a repeated target of IDF artillery in recent days.
Lebanese channels reported Wednesday evening that IDF forces fired phosphorus shells at the Ali al-Taher ridge in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon. The report is based on a single source and has not been confirmed by an official IDF statement.
The Ali al-Taher ridge has been a repeated target of IDF artillery in recent days, as The Zioneer reported on June 13 and June 16. Those earlier reports described heavy artillery barrages and a second salvo within minutes, but did not mention phosphorus munitions. A separate incident on June 8 involved reported phosphorus shelling near Yuhmor al-Shqif, north of the Litani River.
No casualty figures, damage assessments, or IDF comment are yet available. The desk assesses this as a developing story with limited corroboration.
