The Israeli military conducted airstrikes and artillery shelling across several areas in southern Lebanon on Saturday. Concurrently, drones were observed flying at low altitudes in eastern and southern Lebanon.
These actions followed an Israeli strike in the Hermel Governorate the previous day, which injured six people. The Lebanese National News Agency reported that Israeli warplanes targeted the area between the towns of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kafr Tibnit in the Nabatieh Governorate. Artillery shelling by Israel also hit the vicinity of the towns of Hada and Buraashit, as well as the Salouqi and Hujayr valleys, also in the Nabatieh Governorate. Further concentrated artillery fire from Israel struck the outskirts of Meifdoun and Kafr Tibnit, and Hada in the Bint Jbeil district.
In parallel, the agency reported that an Israeli drone flew at a low altitude over the city of Baalbek and its surrounding towns in eastern Lebanon. Additionally, drones were seen flying low over the towns of Bnefoul, Maghdoucheh, Zeita, Anqoun, and Al-Ghaziyeh and their surroundings in the southern province.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health's Emergency Health Operations Center announced on Friday that six people were injured in an Israeli strike near the town of Hosh al-Sayyid Ali in the Hermel district. The center stated that among the injured were five Syrians, including two women, and one Lebanese national. The Lebanese National News Agency had previously reported that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle in Hosh al-Sayyid Ali.
These events are part of ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2, which, according to the latest statistics from the Lebanese Ministry of Health as of September 25, have resulted in 4,386 deaths and 12,413 injuries. Despite a US-brokered framework agreement signed in Washington on June 26 between Beirut and Tel Aviv, stipulating a gradual Israeli withdrawal and the deployment of the Lebanese army in vacated areas, Israel continues its attacks on southern Lebanon and occupies some areas.
