Lebanon's National News Agency reports that Israeli machine gun fire killed one person and wounded two others near the southern Lebanon town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa. The three were hit while near a bulldozer clearing a road, the agency says.
Lebanese media now report that the Israeli machine-gun fire near Nabatieh al-Fawqa left one person dead and two wounded, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. The victims were struck while near a bulldozer clearing a road in the area. The IDF has not commented.
This incident was first reported by The Zioneer at 11:49, based on Lebanese accounts that described Israeli forces opening fire on three individuals who approached their position, killing one and striking a bulldozer. The current report adds the detail of two wounded survivors and specifies the weapon as machine-gun fire, while the core facts—one fatality and a bulldozer hit—remain consistent across all three successive editions published at 11:49. The source remains Lebanon's NNA, with no independent confirmation.
The Nabatieh area has been a frequent target of Israeli strikes during the ongoing escalation. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple incidents in the region: an artillery strike killing three on June 18, airstrikes wounding several on June 17, a house hit by artillery on June 13, four people killed in four separate strikes on June 16, and the Israeli Air Force striking ten towns in the Nabatieh district on June 14. Recent footage from June 20 showed the city of Nabatieh as largely leveled, though that report was single-sourced and unverified.
This remains a single-sourced account from Lebanon's NNA, without IDF comment or independent corroboration. The exact circumstances leading to the opening of fire—whether the individuals posed a threat or were engaged in road-clearing work—are not independently established.
