The Israeli military continued its operations in southern Lebanon on Saturday, carrying out intense airstrikes, artillery shelling, explosions, and incursions in various areas. The Israeli Air Force struck the outskirts of the town of Haddatha, while artillery fire targeted the peripheries of Meifdoun and Nabatieh al-Fawqa, as well as the towns of Kounine, Sarbin, Beit Lif, and Taloussa. Additional shelling hit the outskirts of Haddatha, Hariss, and Al-Qantarah.

An Israeli military force was observed advancing towards Wadi al-Shab'a, coinciding with the Israeli army's ongoing work to establish a military road in the same direction, according to the official Lebanese National News Agency. An Israeli drone also launched a guided missile strike on the Kafr Tibnit-Nabatieh roundabout in the south.

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli aircraft conducted a series of raids targeting the Wadi al-Sluqi area, the region between Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kafr Tibnit, the outskirts of Barchit, and the area between Adsheet al-Qaseer and Taybeh. One airstrike hit a house in Barchit.

The Israeli army also conducted a sweep operation in the town of Khiam, moving from its eastern side towards agricultural lands in Ibl al-Saqi. Explosions were reported in the town of Taloussa. Israeli drones were seen flying at low altitudes over the city of Tyre and its surrounding towns, as well as over the capital, Beirut, and its southern suburbs.

Israel has been engaged in hostilities with Lebanon since March 2nd, following rocket fire from Hezbollah towards northern Israel. Israeli forces had previously occupied several towns in southern Lebanon. A ceasefire was announced on June 20th, after which the frequency of Israeli targeting in southern Lebanon decreased.
