01 · THE DISPATCH

Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck the Jabal al-Rafi ridge area in southern Lebanon, according to an Israeli military-affiliated source. The strike adds to a sustained pattern of Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah-linked targets in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer previously reported, the IDF has conducted multiple strikes on towns, ridges, and villages in the region over the past week and a half, including a series of at least seven strikes on the Malikh ridge on June 8, and an overnight wave hitting eight towns on that same night. The target and damage assessment for this latest strike on Jabal al-Rafi are not yet available. The incident is consistent with ongoing IDF operations aimed at Hezbollah infrastructure and capabilities in southern Lebanon, though no specific claim of responsibility or operational context has been issued for this particular strike.
