Israel intensified airstrikes and artillery shelling
across Lebanon on Wednesday, killing civilians and damaging residential
neighborhoods and public facilities, while Hezbollah announced close-range
clashes with Israeli forces in Zawtar Al-Sharqiya.
Lebanese media reported that Israeli strikes on
Shoukin killed members of an entire family, while raids on Jibsheet left three
people dead and four wounded. Airstrikes also targeted Kfar Remman, destroying
the town’s old mosque, as artillery shells landed near the Nabih Berri
Governmental Hospital in Nabatieh. Along the Zefta–Nabatieh highway, a strike
destroyed a residential and commercial building and heavily damaged a nearby
police station, while a drone attack near the Husseini Club in Nabatieh city
killed an elderly Syrian man and wounded another person.

In Baalbek-Hermel province, Israeli warplanes launched

as the outskirts of Hermel, Buday, and Halabta in northern Beqaa.
Additional strikes targeted the Saida area, including
a heavy raid on the Arki valley, while Israeli aircraft also bombed Yater,

Lebanon’s Civil Defense said rescue teams evacuated 29
civilians trapped beneath rubble in Doueir and Nabatieh despite ongoing
bombardment and extensive destruction. The Lebanese Armed Forces also confirmed
the death of a soldier in an Israeli strike near the Qaraoun Lake dam in
western Beqaa while carrying out “a humanitarian mission.”
Lebanese authorities have recorded more than 8,500
Israeli attacks since March 2, which, according to the Health Ministry, have
killed 3,213 people and wounded 9,737 others.
The Israeli military issued renewed evacuation
warnings to residents of Tyre, Nabatieh, nearby camps, and surrounding
neighborhoods, claiming Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure were operating in
those areas. The army also alleged that it had struck more than 150 Hezbollah
“terror infrastructure sites” and militants in Tyre, Nabatieh, and the Beqaa
region during the past 24 hours.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, announced a series of rocket,
drone, and anti-tank operations against Israeli troops and military vehicles in
Zawtar Al-Sharqiya and nearby areas, stating that its fighters shelled troop
positions near Tal Al-Khazzan, Adaisseh, and the cultural complex in the town.
The group also reported “zero-distance” clashes that forced Israeli troops to
withdraw before heavy bombardment struck the area, while claiming additional
strikes on Merkava tanks, a Nimera armored vehicle, and troop gatherings using
guided missiles and Ababil explosive drones.
