Lebanon reports Israeli strikes affecting areas in the country’s south, including around the city of Nabatieh, alongside broad evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli army. Multiple outlets cite warnings covering more than 20 locations, with Nabatieh singled out as a key city where raids are anticipated. The warnings urge residents to evacuate northward, including guidance to move to “the north of the Zahrani River,” which is about 45 km from the Israel-Lebanon border.
Lebanese reports, including statements relayed by Lebanon’s National News Agency, describe Israeli airstrikes hitting several areas in the south. One outlet specifically mentions villages near Nabatieh—Rihan and Sujud—among areas struck. Reports also extend to strikes in Lebanon’s east, though the main focus remains on the southern districts covered by the evacuation notices.
The developments come amid signals from the United States and Iran that they are close to reaching a deal to end the broader Middle East war, which could include Lebanon as the conflict involves Hezbollah, according to reporting referenced by the sources.
