Two consecutive Israeli air strikes hit the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh, followed by a third strike targeting an ambulance team responding to the attacks, Middle East Eye reported, citing Al Jazeera.
The strikes on Nabatieh and the reported targeting of emergency personnel formed part of a series of attacks in southern Lebanon. The source material did not provide information on casualties, injuries or damage resulting from the strikes in the city. It also did not identify the ambulance service involved or provide further details about the circumstances in which the response team was targeted.
Separately, Israeli warplanes carried out strikes on Saturday near communities in the Bint Jbeil district, according to the report. One attack took place on the outskirts of Sarbin, near Haris. The source did not specify the target of that strike or describe any resulting damage.
Another strike hit an area between Haddatha and Haris, destroying a house, the report said. No information was provided about whether anyone was inside the building at the time, and the source did not report any casualties connected to that attack. It also did not indicate whether the strikes around Sarbin, Haddatha and Haris occurred before or after those reported in Nabatieh.
All of the locations identified in the report are in southern Lebanon. Nabatieh was struck twice in quick succession, according to Al Jazeera’s account as relayed by Middle East Eye, before the separate attack on an ambulance team responding to the scene. The available account did not state where the third strike occurred in relation to the first two attacks.
The report offered no Israeli statement on the strikes and did not provide a stated military objective. It also gave no information on the type of aircraft or munitions used beyond saying that Israeli warplanes conducted the Saturday attacks near Sarbin and in the area between Haddatha and Haris.
Details remained limited, with no casualty figures or official assessments included in the source material. The reported incidents comprised two strikes in Nabatieh, an attack on responding ambulance personnel, a strike on Sarbin’s outskirts near Haris, and another attack that destroyed a home between Haddatha and Haris.
