Lebanon reports Israeli strikes in the country’s south on Saturday as Israel issues broad evacuation warnings ahead of possible raids. Lebanon-based reports say strikes hit multiple areas covered by the warnings, with particular attention on the region around the southern city of Nabatieh. The Israeli army warns residents in more than 20 locations, including Nabatieh, to evacuate, urging people to move north of the Zahrani River, about 45 km from the Israeli border.
Additional Lebanese reporting mentions villages near Nabatieh, including Rihan and Sujud, among the areas struck. Other outlets also report strikes extending into Lebanon’s east.
Several sources note the timing amid wider diplomatic efforts. They say the United States and Iran indicate they are close to reaching a deal aimed at ending the Middle East war, which could also involve Lebanon given the conflict’s wider regional context.
The accounts consistently describe the same sequence: Israeli evacuation warnings covering multiple southern locations, followed by reported strikes in those areas, particularly around Nabatieh.
