**Deck**: Israeli airstrikes overnight reportedly killed nine people near Nabatieh and hit additional sites, while the army issued evacuation instructions for a building in Deir ez‑Zahrani before striking it, prompting fresh movements of civilians in southern Lebanon.

Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have widened over the past two days, bringing more towns under fire and pushing residents to leave. Lebanese channels reported that nine people were killed and five wounded overnight in the village of Ramaan, in an area between the Ali al‑Taher ridge and the city of Nabatieh.

According to these reports, Israeli Air Force jets also struck targets in Nabatieh al‑Fawqa and in the Zaalim area north of Nabatieh. Local outlets described the scope of the strikes as having expanded significantly over the previous 48 hours, suggesting that locations deeper inside the Nabatieh region are now at risk.

Early on 7 September, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Arabic‑language spokesperson published evacuation instructions for a building in the village of Deir ez‑Zahrani, north of Nabatieh. The building was later attacked. Lebanese channels said this warning was followed by a noticeable movement of evacuees from Deir ez‑Zahrani and other areas in southern Lebanon around Nabatieh.

For civilians, this creates a narrowing margin of safety. Communities that had been away from the immediate border zone are now receiving direct warnings and seeing nearby structures hit, forcing families to decide whether to move further north or stay despite the risk of being caught in future strikes.

Operationally, the pattern points to a campaign targeting sites Israel links to armed groups operating from southern Lebanon, but carried out in and around populated areas. Strategically, each expansion of the strike zone increases the likelihood of larger displacement and additional damage to homes and local infrastructure.

Developments to watch include whether Israeli strikes continue to push further north of Nabatieh, how frequently new evacuation instructions are issued by the IDF, and whether Lebanese authorities or international organisations begin publishing formal figures on the number of people leaving the affected areas.
