A security and Middle East journalist reports that widespread strikes are currently underway across southern Lebanon. No details on targets, the type of attack, or casualties have been provided.
A security and Middle East journalist reported at around 10:50 Jerusalem time that widespread strikes are underway across southern Lebanon, adding that the operation is occurring simultaneously with other unspecified actions. No details on targets, the type of attack, or casualties have been provided. The report comes as the latest in a sequence of escalating Israeli operations documented by The Zioneer throughout the day.
Earlier today, at 10:24 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Israel was maintaining a wave of airstrikes against villages in southern Lebanon, following an earlier wave that hit Tebnit and al-Duwayr. Before that, at 09:01 Jerusalem, the thread tracked a progression from an unverified initial report of a strike in Nabatieh to an IDF confirmation of a strike in Nabatieh city, and then to reports of a broad and intense wave of airstrikes across southern Lebanon including the Nabatieh area. Overnight, at 01:02 Jerusalem, Lebanese media reported a heavy artillery barrage across multiple areas in southern Lebanon; the IDF did not comment at the time.
The operations are part of a broader Israeli campaign against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, which The Zioneer has reported on repeatedly in recent days, including a 'fire belt' pattern of strikes on Tue Jun 9, 19:20 Jerusalem, and widespread strikes described by military sources on Fri Jun 12, 13:22 Jerusalem.
No confirmation from IDF sources has been issued regarding this latest report, and the journalist's claim, from a single channel, remains unverified. Details on the specific areas targeted and any casualties are still lacking.
