The Israeli Air Force conducted an additional airstrike in the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, near the Mustafa Ghander hospital, according to Lebanon's official National News Agency. No details on the target or casualties have been reported.
Lebanon's official National News Agency reported Thursday evening that the Israeli Air Force conducted an airstrike near the Mustafa Ghander hospital in the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. The report provides no details on the target, munitions, or casualties. The IDF has not commented on the strike. The operation comes hours after an earlier drone strike in the same city, as The Zioneer reported at 15:37 Jerusalem.
The Israeli Air Force has carried out repeated strikes in Nabatieh in recent days. On Tuesday, July 28, at 09:25 Jerusalem, Lebanese media reported a drone strike in the city, initially described as a strike in a town before the location was identified as Nabatieh. That was followed by another drone strike earlier today at 15:37 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. The source of the reports have moved from unnamed Lebanese media to the official National News Agency, though the specific target and casualties remain unconfirmed.
The Nabatieh area has been a frequent target of Israeli operations amid the ongoing campaign against Hezbollah infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported on June 19, a broad wave of airstrikes struck over 20 villages in southern Lebanon, including Nabatieh, leading to displacement of residents. On June 11, heavy artillery shelling was reported near the hospital in Nabatieh. On June 13, a Lebanese soldier was severely wounded in a drone strike near the city. These operations are part of sustained IDF ground and air operations in southern Lebanon's buffer zone.
The Lebanese report is based on a single official source. No Israeli confirmation has been issued. The extent of damage, if any, and whether the strike caused casualties, has not been reported. The specific target of the strike remains unknown.
