According to reports from Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), Israeli military aircraft conducted a series of strikes in southern Lebanon beginning around 1:00 a.m. local time. The NNA stated that missiles targeted the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, resulting in loud explosions audible in surrounding communities.

Furthermore, the agency reported that Israeli forces deployed phosphorus munitions in the towns of Yaroun, Haroun, and Bint Jbeil. These munitions allegedly ignited large fires within local olive and pine groves. The report also noted that Israeli troops engaged in ground-level gunfire later in the day, though specific details regarding casualties or the strategic intent behind these actions remain unconfirmed by independent sources.

Because the provided information relies exclusively on the Lebanese state-run news agency, there is currently no corroborating statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) regarding the specific use of white phosphorus or the targets hit during these operations. White phosphorus is a substance used for illumination or creating smoke screens, but its use in populated areas is subject to international scrutiny due to the severe burn injuries it can cause. The lack of an official Israeli response leaves the operational context of these strikes—such as whether they were in response to cross-border fire—unclear.
