According to Al Mayadeen TV, Israeli strikes targeted multiple locations across Nabatieh Governorate, including the highlands of Ali al-Taher and al-Dabsha, and the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tibnit.
Warplanes repeatedly bombed the same sites in rapid succession, while an Israeli drone hit a house in Aita al-Shaab, and surveillance and attack drones swarmed the skies.
Lebanon’s National News Agency described the attacks as a “ring of fire,” reporting strikes on the forests of Ali al-Taher and al-Dabsha near Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
High-explosive missiles caused blasts heard across the region, thick smoke, and fires in surrounding forests.
Homes and shops in Nabatieh al-Fawqa were damaged, with glass shattered and structural cracks reported.
Civil defence teams worked to contain the fires, and no casualties have been reported thus far.
The Israeli army later said it had targeted military infrastructure, including a Hezbollah site on the Beaufort Ridge, though these claims could not be independently verified.
Since the November 2024 ceasefire—brokered by the US and France and primarily built on the 2006 United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701—Tel Aviv has repeatedly violated Lebanese sovereignty under the pretext of targeting Hezbollah.
During that escalation, Israeli strikes killed hundreds of civilians in Beirut’s southern suburbs and the Bekaa Valley.
The ceasefire obliges Israel to halt attacks and withdraw from Lebanese territory, while Hezbollah is expected to disarm in southern areas to allow deployment of the Lebanese armed forces.
Israel has occupied five areas it calls “strategic,” prompting Hezbollah to reject disarmament talks, arguing that withdrawal is impossible while Israeli forces remain in southern Lebanon, as it would only benefit Tel Aviv.
