A Lebanese official says Israel carried out 11 air strikes on Nabatiyeh and surrounding areas today, days after strikes destroyed the southern city’s marketplace.
“For now, 11 strikes have mainly hit Nabatiyeh but also its surroundings,” Nabatiyeh governor Howaida Turk tells AFP when asked about Israeli strikes, adding that the intense raids “formed a kind of belt of fire” in the area.
She reports casualties in the strikes but could not provide a precise toll.
There was no immediate comment from the IDF, which said earlier today that it continues to heavily target Hezbollah operations in southern Lebanon.
