  • 'Israeli' military carried out strikes in the Ali al-Taher heights area of southern Lebanon.
  • Authorities in northern 'Israel' warned residents to expect sounds of nearby explosions.
  • An 'Israeli' official said the strikes near Nabatieh al-Fawqa targeted Hezbollah operatives outside the designated "Yellow Line" who were considered an active threat.

The 'Israeli' military has carried out a series of airstrikes and artillery bombardments targeting positions in southern Lebanon, according to reports from 'Israeli' media on Sunday.

'Israel’s' Channel 12 reported that the military launched an offensive focusing heavily on the strategic Ali al-Taher heights region.

The operation marks a notable flare-up along the frontier, occurring shortly after domestic reports indicated that localized maneuvers in the same sector had been temporarily held back.

Civilian alerts

As the cross-border operation commenced, the Upper Galilee Regional Council issued urgent security notifications to citizens residing near the northern border.

Local authorities advised residents that they would hear loud, consecutive explosions reverberating throughout the sector as a direct result of the ongoing military actions inside southern Lebanon.

'Israel' claims neutralizing threats 

Providing official context for the escalation, the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) cited a senior official who confirmed that parallel airstrikes conducted in the Nabatieh al-Fawqa area were highly targeted.

According to the official, the precision strikes specifically targeted Hezbollah operatives who had advanced outside the bilaterally recognized "Yellow Line" boundary.

The official emphasized that the movements of these operatives were tracked by intelligence assets and determined to constitute a direct, active threat to 'Israeli' forces stationed along the border buffer zones, necessitating an immediate defensive response.
