Israeli military struck three towns in southern Lebanon on Friday, hitting Nebatiye el-Fevka, Kantara and Talluse in strikes officials said could raise tensions along the frontier.
Officials said the raids were conducted by air assets and targeted positions in the named towns; they did not immediately release casualty figures or damage assessments.
Strikes on Nebatiye el-Fevka area
Officials said the strikes specifically affected areas near Nebatiye el-Fevka, Kantara and Talluse in Lebanon's south. Lebanese authorities had not issued an immediate public comment, officials said.
The southern border between Israel and Lebanon has long been a locus of intermittent exchanges, officials said, and local security sources have regularly reported cross-border incidents in the past. The latest strikes add to that pattern, officials said, though they did not provide further operational detail.
Expect further reporting by September 19, 2026; monitor official statements from both sides and regional security briefings for updates on casualties, retaliatory fire or changes to patrol and air operations.
