Multiple residents told Drop Site that the events on Thursday bore resemblance to April 8, when the Israeli military struck more than 150 locations across Lebanon in the span of ten minutes after the United States and Iran first agreed to a temporary ceasefire—an attack that killed over 350 people and is referred to in Lebanon as “Black Wednesday.”

The lack of warning, the breadth and scale of the bombardment, and the timing were echoed in Thursday’s assault on Nabatieh. In both cases, Israel launched an intensified attack after Washington and Tehran reached an agreement that included a ceasefire in Lebanon in no uncertain terms.

Ebrahim Azizi said the first clause requires both sides to agree to “the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon”.

In a post on X, Azizi said Washington’s conduct showed it had not met that obligation.

“America’s failure to commit to the first clause of the agreement demonstrates that America still lacks the will to gain the trust of the Iranian nation,” Azizi wrote on X.

He warned that continued violations would carry consequences.

The Israeli military’s demolition of an entire village in Lebanon is “a Nakba of 2026,” the presence of hunting rifles and a Hezbollah flag is enough to have a Lebanese home designated “terrorist infrastructure,” and Israeli soldiers have operated there and in Gaza out of a “sense of revenge.”

Those are some of the observations of a recently returned Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reservist, whose testimony further calls into question continuing U.S. support for Israel’s war efforts in the region and starkly underlines the risks of a proposal currently on track to become law that would yet more deeply fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries together.

The interview with the ex-soldier was conducted by a Palestinian journalist and by Ariella Steinhorn, the co-founder of a whistleblower advocacy organization, and provided on the condition that the identities of both the IDF reservist and the journalist remain anonymous. The reservist, who has fought in multiple Israeli wars over the past decades, recounted his experience of several deployments in Lebanon since 2023, including Israel’s current invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon, as well as a stint in Gaza after the invasion of Rafah in 2024.

The forced expulsion of Ain Arab—where Israeli soldiers went door to door, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint—was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern Lebanon. Human rights advocates and locals told Drop Site they hadn’t heard of a similar incident occurring in this latest phase of the war—the Israeli military typically bombs and shells areas to forcibly displace residents. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2, and many have no idea if or when they will be able to return to their homes.

Rep. Delia Ramirez called on her fellow Democrats to “stop making excuses and act” to stop a war in Lebanon, as many refuse to go on the record about whether they’ll support a war powers resolution that would halt US military participation in Israel’s escalating occupation of the country.

Axios reported on Wednesday that some Democrats are “fuming” about having to take a vote on a resolution introduced by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), which would require the US to end unauthorized military cooperation with Israel in Lebanon within seven days of being passed. The resolution would need Republican support to pass the GOP-controlled House.

Pulled alive from beneath the rubble in Teirfalsiyeh, South Lebanon. Dust in his eyes, blood on his face, terror far too big for a child that small.

This is what Israel’s “ceasefire” looks like in south Lebanon

Israel has been very public about the controlled demolitions its military has been carrying out in many of the 55 Lebanese towns and villages it now occupies in the south. The Israeli military has been publishing videos on social media and in releases to the press showing entire neighborhoods eviscerated in seconds, the concrete homes and shops erupting into clouds of dust at the push of a detonator.

Israel says it's destroying Hezbollah infrastructure. And that the goal is to create what Israel calls a "buffer zone" along its border, in order to keep Hezbollah from attacking its northern residents.

But those demolitions — along with widespread Israeli airstrikes throughout the past two months — have also significantly destroyed civilian infrastructure. Such destruction is considered to be a violation of international law, and a potential war crime.

According to the report on Wednesday, the military is operating under a plan to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.

As part of the campaign, troops are assigned designated zones to demolish, with commanders required to record the number of structures destroyed each day.

“The only mission is to continue the destruction,” one commander told Haaretz. “There are no other tasks.”

As they passed through the village, Khalil holding her phone out the window to film, an Israeli strike hit the car in front of them, Faraj said, speaking from the Beirut hospital where she is recovering.

The women pulled over and got out of the car, hunkering down on the side of the road as a drone remained in the sky overhead. About an hour later, a second strike hit Amal Khalil’s car, next to them.

“Amal was crawling, she was wounded — her nose and head and shoulder and leg,” Faraj recalled, speaking with difficulty with her face swollen and bruised. Faraj said Khalil had also suffered burn wounds after the targeted car next to them caught fire.

The journalists were able to speak with their families and colleagues. Faraj said Khalil had put on a brave face and tried to assure her family that they were fine.

For weeks, Israel bombarded Bint Jbeil and Khiam, repeatedly attempting to encircle the southern Lebanese towns. Yet neither fully fell to Israel’s invading military.

The survival of these Hezbollah redoubts, which have long carried symbolic and strategic weight, exposed the limits of what Israeli firepower is able to achieve in south Lebanon, and the strategic power the terrain holds for its defenders.

Three sources close to Hezbollah, including one intimately familiar with the battles in the south, described to Middle East Eye how Israel was unable to dislodge the Lebanese armed movement.

They say the Israeli military advance did not just run aground in the face of fierce armed resistance.

[this is fucking outrageous, even for Israel.]

Prominent Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed on Wednesday in what appeared to be a targeted attack by the Israeli military in the town of Tyre in southern Lebanon. Her employer, Al-Akhbar, confirmed the death of their correspondent Wednesday evening.

The Red Cross was eventually able to return to the area after which Khalil was pronounced dead.

“The repeated strikes on the same location, the targeting of an area where journalists were sheltering, and the obstruction of medical and humanitarian access constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law,” CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah said in a statement.

BEIRUT, LEBANON—In early October 2025, Lebanese paramedic Haj Qassem Sultan stood outside Marjayoun Government Hospital in southern Lebanon and addressed Lebanese TV.

“Our message is clear. Even if we are killed one by one, we will not abandon our duty,” he said. “We will continue to serve Khiam and Marjayoun and Al-Taybeh and Debbine and all of our sacred land.”

He was attending a memorial for seven of his colleagues who were killed exactly one year earlier in an Israeli airstrike on ambulances parked outside the hospital. Five other paramedics, including Sultan, were wounded in the attack, in what human rights groups said was an apparent war crime.

On Friday, Sultan was killed in another Israeli strike on an Islamic Health Authority (IHA) medical center in Burj Qalaouiyah in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil District. The bombing destroyed the facility, killing 12 people, including on-duty doctors, paramedics, nurses, and three patients.

Batoul and her loved ones were among the 773 Lebanese people – including more than 100 children – killed by Israel’s campaign in Lebanon since 2 March. They join a growing list of families completely wiped out by Israeli bombings, in a conflict whose death toll is rising faster than in any previous war in Lebanon.

Forty-one people were killed by Israeli airstrikes in Nabi Chit in the Bekaa valley in only five hours last Saturday, and 18 people died in a single night in the town of Sir el-Gharbiyeh on 8 March. The pace of death has stunned Lebanese people and left them struggling to keep up.
