Lebanese reports indicate extensive Israeli strikes now hitting the city of Nabatieh and its surroundings, shortly after a reported 'ceasefire' declaration. The IDF has not commented. The strikes follow days of intense bombardment in the Hezbollah stronghold.
Lebanese sources report that Israeli strikes are now hitting the city of Nabatieh and its surroundings, in what they describe as a widespread wave following a reported 'ceasefire' declaration. The timing is notable—strikes are occurring after the declared ceasefire, raising questions about the status of any agreement.
This is the latest escalation in a sustained campaign against the Hezbollah stronghold of Nabatieh. As The Zioneer reported on Friday (13:29 Jerusalem), the IDF launched another wave of strikes in the area. Earlier on Friday morning (08:28 Jerusalem), residents were reportedly evacuating Nabatieh toward Beirut. The ceasefire declaration, reported by a senior US official on Friday afternoon, was followed by strikes shortly before the scheduled start time, and now appears to have been followed by further strikes.
The current wave underscores the volatility of the Lebanese front. No details on targets, casualties, or the IDF's operational posture have been released yet.
