Israel's air force conducted a series of bombings across southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to the Lebanese National News Agency. The operations targeted locations in the Bint Jbeil district, an area that has previously seen cross‑border hostilities.
One of the strikes was directed at the outskirts of the village of Sarbin, situated close to the town of Haris. The attack was carried out by warplanes and was part of the broader series of aerial operations reported from the region.
A second, more intensive raid focused on a residential structure located between the villages of Haddatha and Haris. The bombing resulted in the complete destruction of the house, leaving the building in ruins. The agency described the strike as heavier than the earlier one on Sarbin.
In addition to the air attacks, Israeli artillery fire was reported on the periphery of Haddatha at the same time as the house was hit. The artillery shelling coincided with the aerial bombardment, suggesting a coordinated effort across different weapon systems.
The National News Agency did not provide casualty figures or further details about the extent of damage beyond the destroyed house. No statements from Israeli officials were included in the report.
These incidents add to the pattern of intermittent clashes along the Lebanon‑Israel border, where both sides have periodically exchanged fire. The latest strikes underscore the volatility of the frontier and the potential for escalation, according to observers monitoring the situation.
International monitors have called for restraint from all parties, emphasizing the risk that such localized attacks could broaden into a larger confrontation. The Lebanese authorities have yet to issue an official response to the Saturday attacks.
