Escalation of Conflict: Israeli Strikes Injure 13 in Southern Lebanon


Nabatieh, Lebanon—Late Friday night, an Israeli military operation targeted a three-story building north of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, resulting in injuries to 13 individuals. This incident is part of a broader pattern of increased military activity in the region.



According to Namibia Press Agency, Lebanese military sources detailed that the Israeli army executed seven airstrikes across five villages and towns and conducted shellings in seven villages and towns with approximately 35 shells in southern Lebanon on Saturday. This escalation follows heightened tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border, which intensified on October 8, 2023, after Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets toward Israel, showing solidarity with Hamas following their attack on Israel the previous day.



In retaliation to the Israeli airstrikes, Hezbollah responded by targeting several Israeli military headquarters and sites with drones and missiles. Lebanese military sources also reported that approximately 70 Katyusha rockets and several drones were launched from Lebanon toward northern Israel. The continuous exchange of fire marks a significant escalation in conflict between the two regions, reflecting ongoing geopolitical strife and the complex dynamics at play.
