**Deck**: Hezbollah launched explosive drones at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, prompting Israeli airstrikes on multiple locations in Nabatieh Governorate, including a building that once housed the Ghandour Hospital and is now reported empty.

The confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon escalated with a new round of drone attacks and airstrikes that destroyed a former hospital building and left several people dead or wounded, according to regional reports.

The Israel Defense Forces said that Hezbollah fighters launched two explosive drones early Sunday toward Israeli troops controlling a security zone in southern Lebanon. The IDF said the drones targeted forces responsible for that zone.

In response, Israeli fighter jets and unmanned aircraft carried out strikes in several locations across southern Lebanon. Israeli statements and Lebanese media reports said jets hit targets in and around Kfar Raman, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Nabatieh city, and Arab Salim. An Israeli UAV struck a motorcycle in Nabatieh al-Fawqa. Local reporting from Lebanon said at least two people were killed and several others wounded, though full casualty details remained incomplete.

Lebanese outlets reported that Israeli strikes completely destroyed the building that served as the Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa. They noted that the building has been empty for a long time and no longer functions as a medical center.

For residents of the affected towns, the latest exchange reinforces how quickly civilian landmarks and long-disused facilities can become part of an active battle zone, bringing repeated cycles of damage and disruption.

On the Israeli side of the border, officials said “red evacuation maps” for the north have returned, signaling renewed preparations to move civilians away from areas considered at higher risk of attack.

Key developments to watch include whether Hezbollah responds with additional drone or rocket fire, any expansion of Israeli target lists to more sites in Nabatieh and surrounding areas, and diplomatic efforts to contain the latest escalation before it widens further.
