The Israeli army carried out two raids on the city of Nabatiyeh on Tuesday evening, leaving at least 20 people injured, according to a provisional toll from the Ministry of Public Health. According to the Lebanese news agency Al-Markazia, Israeli military radio confirmed targeting the locality during an airstrike. One hour after the first strike, a second strike was carried out.
The explosion appears to have been significant, based on the initial images circulating on social media. However, several people on the ground report that no buildings were targeted. The site of the explosion is said to be an open area where cars were parked.
According to Al-Markazia, a Hezbollah warehouse containing weapons platforms was targeted. This marks the first airstrike on the city since the ceasefire came into effect on November 27.
Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati strongly condemned the two Israeli raids saying “This aggression constitutes an additional violation of Lebanese sovereignty and a blatant breach of the ceasefire arrangement.”
The Israeli military stated in a statement to residents of settlements on the Lebanese border, that we carried out attacks inside Lebanon due to "violations of the agreement"
Israel’s military spokesman, Avichay Adraee, posting on X said that Israel’s airforce “raided a truck and another vehicle belonging to Hezbollah, which were transporting combat equipment in the areas of Shaqif and Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.”
