A mass exodus from the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon is underway Sunday night following Israeli strikes this evening, according to security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The report, sourced through Arab media, describes residents who had recently returned leaving again.
Sunday night, a fresh wave of residents began fleeing Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, after Israeli strikes this evening, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported citing Arab media. The exodus follows patterns seen in recent weeks: The Zioneer reported a similar mass evacuation on June 19, when residents of Tyre, Nabatieh, and Bint Jbeil moved north after extensive IDF strikes. In the past two weeks, Nabatieh has been struck repeatedly — on June 12, four towns in the area were hit; on June 15, a strike was reported but details were unclear; and on June 20, the IAF conducted additional bombings on the city, after which the municipality urged residents not to return. Earlier Sunday evening, The Zioneer also reported strikes on two Shiite villages in the Nabatieh area. Goldblatt's report is the first indication of a renewed displacement after a brief lull. No new casualty figures or target details are available yet; the report is single-sourced.
