Lebanese media channels claim Israeli forces carried out a strike on the village of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon after 16:00 Friday. The report comes shortly after a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah reportedly entered into force at 16:00, according to a senior US official. The IDF has not commented. The timing, if confirmed, would mean the strike occurred after the ceasefire took effect.
Lebanese media channels report that the IDF struck the village of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon after 16:00 on Friday — the hour at which a US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah reportedly entered into force. A senior US official told Israeli media the ceasefire would begin at 16:00, and earlier Friday, warplanes struck Hezbollah targets in the same Nabatieh area shortly before the deadline. The new claim, if confirmed, would mark a strike by Israeli forces after the ceasefire took hold.
The IDF has not commented on either the Nabatieh al-Fawqa strike or the status of the ceasefire. The location — a village in the Nabatieh district — has been a frequent target of Israeli airstrikes in recent weeks as part of ongoing operations against Hezbollah infrastructure and positions in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, Israeli warplanes struck Hezbollah targets in the Nabatieh area before the 16:00 ceasefire hour, according to Israel Hayom.
What remains unconfirmed: the identity and extent of the targets, any casualties, and the precise timeline relative to the ceasefire. The Lebanese report is a single, uncorroborated claim from media channels. This report updates the thread on the ceasefire's early fragility.
