Israeli Airstrikes Kill Four in Southern Lebanon Following Hezbollah Drone Launch

Israeli warplanes struck multiple targets across the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, including Arab Salim and Nabatieh al-Fawqa, killing at least four people and injuring 20 others. The strikes leveled the out-of-service Ghandour Hospital and residential structures after the IDF issued evacuation warnings, stating the operation retaliated for two Hezbollah explosive drones launched at Israeli troops.

Why this matters. Breaches the fragile cross-border ceasefire framework and deepens civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction across southern Lebanon.
