Lebanese media report that Israeli airstrikes targeting a building and a vehicle in the village of Rouman, southern Lebanon, killed 11 people and wounded five others. The reports do not specify the affiliation of the casualties. The IDF has not commented on the claim.
Lebanese media now report that Israeli airstrikes on the village of Rouman in the Nabatieh sector killed 11 people, updating earlier casualty tolls from overnight. The latest figure follows a sequence of revisions: at 04:32 Jerusalem, the Lebanese Civil Defense told Al Jazeera that two strikes had killed 10 and wounded seven; shortly afterward, Lebanese reports revised the death toll to nine. The current report of 11 killed does not specify the affiliation of the casualties, and the IDF has not commented.
The Zioneer has previously reported on strikes in the same village — on July 19 and August 8 — and across southern Lebanon, with casualty figures consistently originating from Lebanese sources and lacking independent verification. In past incidents, such as a June 9 strike in Tyre that killed nine and a June 10 wave that killed 13 in Tir Diba and Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, the numbers reported by Lebanese media were not confirmed by Israeli officials and did not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
It remains unclear whether the targets in Rouman were Hezbollah-associated infrastructure or other sites. The affiliation of the dead and wounded has not been specified, and the figures have not been independently verified. The IDF has not issued a statement on the reported strike.
