Lebanese media reported that the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes in 12 towns and sites across southern Lebanon after 16:00 — the time the ceasefire reportedly took effect. The locations named include Nabatieh al-Fawqa (5 strikes), Rihan, Kfar Tabnit, Adchit, Qaaqaiyat al-Jisr, Shukin, Jabal Rafii, Aba, Mifdoun, Zabdin, and Haboush. No details on targets or casualties are yet available. The IDF has not commented.
Lebanese channels published an expanded list of Israeli Air Force strikes across southern Lebanon on Friday evening, asserting that the bombing continued after 16:00 — the time a ceasefire mediated through Reuters was said to begin. The report enumerates 12 locations, with Nabatieh al-Fawqa absorbing five strikes according to these sources.
The roster includes Rihan, Kfar Tabnit, Adchit, Qaaqaiyat al-Jisr, Shukin, Jabal Rafii, Aba, Mifdoun, Zabdin, and Haboush — all in the Nabatieh Governorate. No casualty figures or target descriptions have been released.
As The Zioneer reported in three bulletins between 16:10 and 17:14 Friday, the IAF struck several of these same towns in the minutes before and after the 16:00 deadline. The 16:10 bulletin noted strikes on Shukin and Zabdin minutes before 16:00, according to Abu Ali Express. By 17:14, citing IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, the desk reported that the military retains full operational freedom against any threat and accused Hezbollah of violating the truce. A bulletin at 18:23 added that Lebanese channels claimed an IDF strike in Nabatieh al-Fawqa after the ceasefire took effect. The IDF has not commented on the specific post-16:00 strikes named by the Lebanese channels.
The reported strikes follow a pattern of Israeli operations in the Nabatieh area going back days, including overnight raids on June 14 and morning strikes on June 17. The current report remains sourced to single Lebanese media channels, with no independent or official Israeli confirmation. What remains open is whether the strikes after 16:00 targeted active threats or occurred before the ceasefire was formally understood on the ground; the IDF has not clarified the legal or operational baseline for its post-truce strikes.
