Wave of Strikes Hits Southern Lebanon

Israeli drone and air attacks intensified across southern Lebanon on Wednesday, targeting vehicles, residential areas, public facilities and infrastructure in multiple districts.

According to Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent, an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the town of Tibnin in the Bint Jbeil district, killing one person.

Israeli warplanes also carried out two air raids on the town of Deir Zahrani in the Nabatieh region. The attacks reportedly targeted a Lebanese Armed Forces vehicle.

Elsewhere, Israeli aircraft attacked the town of al-Bazouriyeh in two separate waves before dawn, while another raid struck the crossing area of Kafr Tibnit.

Israeli forces also targeted a vehicle in the town of Qana in the Tyre district, according to local reports.

In a notable escalation, an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in Khaldeh, south of Beirut, expanding the geographical scope of the attacks beyond the areas that have witnessed the heaviest bombardment in recent months.

Syrians and Palestinians among the Dead

The attacks resulted in casualties across several locations. Four Syrian nationals were killed when an Israeli drone struck the Mayadeen road in the al-Housh area of southern Lebanon.

In a separate attack, two Palestinians were killed when a strike hit the al-Maamoura-al-Housh road.

Another drone attack targeted the town of Siddiqin, resulting in injuries, according to local sources.

The attacks highlight the increasingly broad civilian impact of Israel’s ongoing military campaign, which has affected Lebanese citizens, Palestinian refugees and Syrian nationals living and working in the south.

Paramedic Killed, Health Infrastructure Targeted

A paramedic was also killed in the latest attacks. Ali Salman Nader, a member of the Al-Risala Health Ambulance Association in Arab Salim, was killed after an Israeli drone targeted the al-Ain neighborhood.

A second strike later targeted the nearby al-Lubana area.

Meanwhile, hostile drones attacked a Health Authority center in the town of Arzoun. Lebanon’s National News Agency reported no injuries but confirmed that the facility itself had been targeted.

The incident follows attacks on medical facilities reported over recent days.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, Tebnine Governmental Hospital suffered damage during Israeli attacks. Eleven people were injured there, including a doctor and five hospital employees.

The ministry condemned the attack as part of a continuing pattern of assaults on healthcare facilities, describing them as violations of international laws and norms protecting medical institutions during armed conflict.

Health Ministry Reports Five Dead, 48 Wounded

The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said attacks were recorded between midnight Monday and 8 PM. Tuesday killed five people and wounded 48 others.

According to the ministry, two people were killed in Burj al-Shamali, including a child. Thirty-two others were wounded, among them four Palestinians, one of whom was also a child.

In the town of Abba, three people were killed and five others wounded, including a woman and a Syrian national.

The ministry’s figures do not include casualties from Wednesday’s latest attacks, suggesting the overall toll is likely to rise further.

As bombardment continued, Israeli forces issued evacuation warnings to residents of several towns in southern Lebanon.

The warnings targeted Erzay in the Sidon district, Mazraat Kawthariyat al-Ruz and al-Zarariyah, raising concerns over further military escalation.

Meanwhile, the National News Agency reported that Israeli forces carried out three consecutive strikes in the A’reed Marjeyoun area at approximately 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The attacks followed a night of repeated explosions in Dbeibine and surrounding areas.

According to local reports, the force of the blasts caused extensive material damage, shattering windows and storefronts in Jdeidet Marjeyoun and damaging nearby homes and businesses.

The latest attacks come as Israel continues to carry out military operations across southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement. 

Lebanese officials and humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned that ongoing strikes on residential areas, civilian infrastructure and healthcare facilities represent serious violations of the truce and continue to place civilians at risk.
