The IDF is carrying out a new wave of strikes in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon, according to reports. No details on targets or casualties have been released yet.
The IDF launched another wave of strikes in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon on Friday afternoon, according to reports. The new development follows a sustained campaign that The Zioneer has tracked since Friday morning: at 09:01 Jerusalem, a single unverified report of a strike in Nabatieh city grew into a confirmed IDF operation across multiple towns. By 13:07 Jerusalem, the IDF confirmed it was continuing strikes in the area, with footage circulated from the village of Haboush.
The thread unfolded rapidly Friday. The first report, at 09:01, was a single unverified source; within minutes, the IDF officially confirmed a strike in Nabatieh city. Subsequent reports, at the same timestamp, described a broad and intense wave of airstrikes across southern Lebanon, including the Nabatieh area, cited by Israeli security-focused media. A journalist then confirmed widespread strikes were underway, followed by additional unspecified footage of the strikes. By 09:01, footage from Haboush was circulated by a security analyst. The current wave is the latest in a series The Zioneer has reported since mid-June, including artillery barrages and ground-force advances toward Nabatieh from Arnoun.
As The Zioneer reported on Friday, June 12, the IDF had struck four more towns in the Nabatieh area. On June 13, heavy artillery pounded multiple neighborhoods in Nabatieh as Israeli forces reportedly advanced toward overlooking heights. On June 16, reports indicated Israeli forces were striking Hezbollah infrastructure in the area. On June 17, the IDF reportedly struck the Nabatieh area after Hezbollah fire at Israeli forces.
No details on the specific targets or casualties from this new wave of strikes have been released.
