Lebanese media report Israeli airstrikes in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon this morning, according to the Kan public broadcaster's Arab affairs desk. The reports say the strikes followed Hezbollah firing at Israeli troops. The IDF has not commented.
Lebanese media outlets report renewed Israeli airstrikes in the Nabatieh area on Wednesday morning, according to the Kan public broadcaster's Arab affairs desk. The strikes are described as a response to Hezbollah firing at Israeli forces. No details on targets, casualties, or the extent of the damage have been reported. The IDF has not yet issued a statement.
Our thread shows this is the latest escalation in a sequence of reported strikes in the Nabatieh area since the ceasefire. At 08:02 Jerusalem today, journalist Yaron Schneider reported a renewal of strikes, and another report described multiple artillery strikes alongside the airstrike. The earliest report at 08:02 Jerusalem described Lebanese reports of IDF strikes without details. The source quality across the thread has remained consistent — all reports are from Lebanese media or regional sources, with no official Israeli confirmation so far.
The Nabatieh area has been a repeated target. As The Zioneer reported in recent days, earlier strikes on Friday Jun 12 targeted four towns including Nabatieh city; Sunday Jun 14 saw an Israeli Air Force strike on ten towns in the district; Tuesday Jun 16 had both Lebanese army artillery shelling and IDF strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure. Last Thursday, the Lebanese Health Ministry reported 15 killed and 70 wounded in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon — figures not independently verified. A heavy artillery bombardment near Nabatieh hospital was also reported on Jun 11.
What remains open: no official IDF statement, no independent confirmation of the trigger (Hezbollah fire at Israeli troops), and no details on casualties or the specific targets hit this morning.
