An Israeli drone targeted the outskirts of the town of Zawtar in southern Lebanon on Thursday afternoon, according to reports from Lebanese media. No details on the target, casualties, or damage are yet available. The strike follows a series of Israeli drone operations in the region this month.
An Israeli drone struck the outskirts of the town of Zawtar in southern Lebanon at 16:13 Jerusalem time on Thursday, according to Lebanese media reports. The alert was first carried by Al Mayadeen's correspondent. No details are yet available on the specific target, any casualties, or damage from the strike.
The attack comes amid an ongoing Israeli campaign of drone and artillery strikes against Hezbollah positions and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported previously, similar drone strikes have hit multiple towns in the region this month, in what the IDF has characterized as a shift to precision drone operations targeting threats near the border. Zawtar is located in the Nabatieh district, about 20 kilometers from the Israeli frontier, an area where the IDF has regularly engaged targets.
At this time, there is no independent confirmation of casualties or the nature of the target from Israeli sources. The IDF has not commented on the incident.
