01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF has launched an extensive wave of airstrikes on more than 20 villages across southern Lebanon, security correspondent Nir Dvori (N12) reports. The strikes mark a significant expansion of the current operation in both breadth and intensity. This wave, reported at 10:50 Jerusalem, follows hours of sustained air operations across southern Lebanon.

As The Zioneer has reported today, the IDF was already maintaining a wave of strikes by 08:07 Jerusalem, hitting villages including Tebnit, al-Duwayr, and Tulin. Lebanese sources reported casualties in overnight raids on five southern towns by 08:53 Jerusalem, and said strikes hit Sir and al-Duwayr by 10:36 Jerusalem. By 10:33 Jerusalem, Lebanese sources reported 28 villages struck overnight and 23 killed — figures that have not been independently verified. The scale of the current wave — exceeding 20 villages — appears broader than the rounds reported earlier in the morning.

As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday Jun 17 at 15:19 Jerusalem, a similar wave of airstrikes targeted southern Lebanese villages. The IDF's Arabic-language spokesman issued evacuation warnings for 29 villages on Sunday Jun 14 at 12:12 Jerusalem, ahead of operations that night.

No details on specific targets, munitions, or casualties from the latest wave have been provided by the IDF. The casualty figures from the overnight strikes cited by Lebanese sources have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear how many of the reported deaths are combatants or civilians.
