Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon escalated sharply on Saturday, hitting multiple towns and residential areas across the Nabatieh district and beyond, leaving dozens martyred and causing extensive destruction to homes, infrastructure, and civilian facilities.
Israeli warplanes launched a series of raids beginning at dawn, including a strike on a residential building in Mayfadoun that leveled the structure and reportedly killed three people.
Additional airstrikes targeted the town of Toul, where several residential buildings were destroyed.
In Jebshit, an airstrike hit a private electricity generator facility, destroying it and sparking a large fire. The town was struck again later in the day after two earlier dawn raids.

Airstrikes also pounded the Al-Rahbet neighborhood in Nabatieh city, while nearby towns including Kfar Rumman, Kfar Sir, and Zifta came under repeated bombardment.
In Kfarsir, three consecutive strikes reportedly killed three people. Another raid on a residential building along the Zifta–Nabatieh highway, opposite a gas station, destroyed the structure and killed four civilians.
In Jbaa, in the Iqlim Al-Tuffah region, a missile fired by an Israeli warplane failed to detonate, a day after seven people were martyred by an Israeli strike on a local car wash facility.
Further south, a civilian was martyred in an airstrike on Qsaibeh, while Israeli warplanes struck the outskirts of Qantara, Adshit, Qusayr, and Khiam.
In Tibnine, two Israeli strikes were reported, one near the town’s cemetery, while the second hit near Tibnine Governmental Hospital.
