The IDF is carrying out strikes in Nabatieh, about 85 kilometers from the Israeli border, according to military sources. The operation follows days of raids and clashes in the area, as the ground push toward the city continues.
The IDF is currently striking the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, approximately 85 kilometers from the Israeli border, as ground operations continue toward the city. The strikes come after days of reported ground advances and aerial bombardment in the area, with Friday's action marking another escalation deep into Lebanese territory.
This development follows a series of earlier reports from Friday morning. At 09:01 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported an unverified strike in Nabatieh, which by the same hour was confirmed by the IDF as a strike in the city. Through the course of Friday, the reported waves of strikes across the Nabatieh area, with footage surfacing from the village of Haboush. By 13:29 Jerusalem, a new wave was reported, and at 16:56 Jerusalem, widespread strikes were reported after a ceasefire declaration failed to hold. The current 17:19 action appears to be a continuation of that sustained campaign.
As The Zioneer reported on Friday June 12 at 20:29 Jerusalem, the IDF carried out strikes in Nabatieh, and on Saturday June 13 at 02:47 Jerusalem, ground forces were advancing toward the area from the village of Arnoun, with clashes and heavy shelling reported. The broader context includes Lebanese reports of strikes targeting Nabatieh and neighboring villages, as well as a report on Wednesday June 17 at 09:37 Jerusalem that Hezbollah had fired at Israeli forces before IDF strikes in the Nabatieh area.
The IDF has not yet released details on specific targets or casualties in the current strikes. The reported 85-kilometer distance from the border indicates the operation's depth into Lebanese territory, but no independent or on-record confirmation of the claims has been provided.
