Israel airstrikes hit Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon

Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon on Thursday, striking the area just hours after what Israeli officials described as the deadliest day of their raids in the Gaza Strip. The attacks, which targeted several sites in the district, were reported by Lebanese authorities to have caused damage to infrastructure and resulted in civilian injuries, though the exact number of casualties has not yet been confirmed.

The strikes come amid heightened tensions following Israel’s intensified campaign in Gaza, which has prompted retaliatory fire from Hezbollah and other militant groups based in Lebanon. Lebanese officials condemned the operation, calling it a violation of sovereignty and warning of further escalation. International observers noted the incident as part of a broader pattern of cross‑border hostilities that could widen the regional conflict, while diplomatic efforts continue to seek de‑escalation.
