Lebanese sources report 21 Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon since the declared ceasefire went into effect Friday afternoon, according to security correspondent Yair Goldblatt. Details on targets, locations, and casualties have not yet been provided. The figure significantly exceeds earlier counts: The Zioneer reported over 10 strikes by 16:50.
A new Lebanese count, cited by security correspondent Yair Goldblatt, reports 21 Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon since the declared ceasefire took effect Friday afternoon. This figure sharply exceeds the earlier count of over 10 strikes that Lebanese media reported by 16:50, as The Zioneer noted in its 16:50 and 16:51 bulletins. A separate bulletin at 16:50 listed 11 towns targeted by the Israeli Air Force after 16:00.
The IDF has not commented on the latest figure. The reports come from Lebanese channels and are unattributed to a specific official source; the scope and nature of the targets remain unconfirmed. The ceasefire was reported by Reuters to have taken effect at 16:00 Friday as part of a US-brokered agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. Southern Lebanon has seen repeated waves of Israeli strikes since the ceasefire was announced, as documented in The Zioneer's earlier coverage.
As The Zioneer reported on Fri 12:30, strikes were first confirmed by the military late Friday morning, with the IAF conducting a new wave after dozens of earlier strikes. Lebanese sources at 12:30 said the strikes represented a breach of the ceasefire. By 14:31 on Fri Jun 12, Abu Saleh of the Arabic desk reported 17 strikes since morning. Over the weekend, The Zioneer reported at 21:52 on Sat Jun 6 that 18 people had been killed and the IDF had struck about 150 targets since the declared ceasefire, with all reports from single sources indicating ongoing hostilities. At 00:06 on Sun Jun 14, the IDF reported striking more than 70 Hezbollah sites and eliminating seven operatives from an underground route, with over 10 Hezbollah field commanders killed since the ceasefire.
What remains open: the new figure of 21 strikes lacks on-record attribution; the specific targets, locations, and casualties for each strike have not been provided; and the IDF has not confirmed or denied the count.
