A new wave of intense Israeli airstrikes has struck southern Lebanon as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continue to escalate along the border.
Multiple explosions were reported across the cities of Tyre and Nabatieh, with strikes also hitting surrounding areas in southern Lebanon.
Footage from the region showed massive plumes of smoke rising into the sky as explosions rocked residential neighborhoods and industrial zones.
According to local reports, areas including Al-Rashidieh, Al-Maashouk, Burj Al-Shamali, and several districts inside Nabatieh suffered heavy damage during the attacks.
Residents described scenes of panic as powerful blasts shook buildings and forced families to flee from affected neighborhoods.
Videos circulating online showed damaged roads, destroyed structures, and emergency crews rushing through smoke-filled streets after the strikes.
The Israeli military said the attacks targeted Hezbollah command centers and military infrastructure linked to the armed group.
The Israel Defense Forces also claimed that evacuation warnings were issued before the strikes in an effort to reduce civilian casualties.
The escalation comes amid renewed cross-border exchanges between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.
Southern Lebanon has witnessed increasing instability in recent weeks as both sides continue exchanging fire near the frontier.
Analysts say this latest wave of airstrikes marks one of the most intense recent military escalations in the area, with growing concern that the conflict could expand further if tensions continue rising.
Meanwhile, international calls for restraint are increasing as regional powers closely monitor developments along the Israel-Lebanon border.
