Israeli warplanes launched a series of intense air raids Monday afternoon, striking multiple locations north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon. The strikes targeted a wide area spanning towns and villages in the cazas of Sidon, Nabatieh, Jezzine and Bint Jbeil, including Zarariyeh, Mahmoudiyeh, Wadi Kfar Melki, Ansar, Tibna, Baysariyeh, Beslayya, Wadi Houmin al Fawqa, Wadi Barghaz, Kfarwa, al-Aaishiyyeh, and the outskirts of Azza and Jbaa.

Shortly after the raids, Israeli army Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed the airstrikes, stating that Israeli fighter jets were hitting what he described as Hezbollah military sites and rocket launchers north of the Litani. In a post on the X platform, Adraee claimed that the targeted locations housed “rocket and missile launchers as well as weapons depots.”
Separately, an Israeli drone reportedly dropped a stun grenade on a family inspecting their home in the town of Aita al-Shaab, in the Bint Jbeil district, according to the National News Agency (NNA). No injuries were reported.
Earlier in the day, debris from an interceptor missile landed between the villages of Majdal Selm and Khirbet Selm, also in the Bint Jbeil area, igniting a fire in nearby fields. Loud explosions were heard across many southern towns as interceptor missiles streaked through the sky.
In parallel, Israeli reconnaissance drones were seen flying over several areas in the Tyre district, particularly near the Litani River between Qasimiyeh and Tayr Felsay, heightening tensions in already-volatile border regions.
