Security analyst Yair Goldblatt posted footage on X early Thursday showing the aftermath of IDF strikes in the Tyre area of southern Lebanon. The footage depicts the town of Birj al-Shamali and the city of Tyre, which were struck by the IDF overnight. The footage has not been independently verified. Earlier this morning, Goldblatt also shared footage of civilians fleeing Birj al-Shamali after the strikes.
The strikes were first reported by Lebanese media at 02:47 Jerusalem, which claimed four people were killed. The IDF confirmed at the same hour that the operation was a response to the killing of two soldiers in an earlier IED blast. The Lebanese Health Ministry subsequently reported eight wounded, some seriously, in the strike on Birj al-Shamali. The ministry did not distinguish between combatants and civilians, and the IDF has not commented on the casualty report.
As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday, the IDF has been striking Hezbollah infrastructure in the Tyre district, with the city serving as a key operational hub for the terror group. The IDF had previously renewed evacuation warnings for Tyre, instructing civilians to move north of the Zahrani River, citing Hezbollah's violations of the ceasefire agreement.
What remains open: Goldblatt's footage has not been independently verified. The identities of the wounded and the specific target of the strike have not been disclosed. The IDF has not commented on the Health Ministry's casualty figures.
