Israeli fighter jets struck a target in the village of Mifdon in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, the IDF said Sunday evening. The strike comes amid ongoing IDF activity against Hezbollah infrastructure in the region, and follows the recent start of a pilot withdrawal from designated zones as part of the Israel-Lebanon framework agreement.
Sunday evening, IDF fighter jets struck the village of Mifdon in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh district. The military officially confirmed the operation targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the area. The strike occurred at approximately 22:21 Jerusalem, with the IDF later specifying that the attacks also extended to the villages of Zutar and Nabatieh al-Fawqa. No casualties have been reported yet.
The development unfolds against a rapid sequence of events earlier Sunday: at 13:01 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the IDF had begun a pilot withdrawal from designated zones in southern Lebanon, the first operational test of the trilateral framework agreement signed Friday. By 22:21, initial Lebanese reports, cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, described a single strike in Mifdon. Within minutes, video footage of the aftermath emerged, and the IDF confirmed that manned aircraft had conducted the operation. Shortly afterward, the military expanded its confirmation to include three villages — Mifdon, Zutar, and Nabatieh al-Fawqa. This marks an escalation from earlier single-village reports to a coordinated multi-target air operation.
As The Zioneer reported Sunday (13:01 Jerusalem), the pilot withdrawal is proceeding alongside continued airstrikes and ground-level incidents, including a grenade attack that wounded four soldiers on June 26. The framework agreement, signed Friday and reported by The Zioneer at 19:47 Jerusalem, maintains an IDF security zone until Hezbollah disarms. The Nabatieh district, where tonight's strikes occurred, has been a focal point of military activity under the agreement's terms, with previous operations reported by The Zioneer on June 16 and June 17.
The specific target at each location has not been detailed, and no assessment of damage or casualties has been provided by either side. The IDF's confirmation has evolved stepwise — from a single village to three — but the nature of the infrastructure struck remains unelaborated.
