IDF jets strike four southern Lebanese villages as shelling reported near Wadi Zibqin

Israeli fighter jets struck the southern Lebanese villages of Talouseh, Hadatha, Kharis and Mais al‑Jabal on the morning of 28 September. Some reports from the area also described about one hundred Israeli artillery shells fired toward the Wadi Zibqin area.

Israeli air power and artillery were active again in southern Lebanon on the morning of 28 September.

According to regional reporting, Israel Defense Forces fighter jets carried out strikes on four villages: Talouseh, Hadatha, Kharis and Mais al‑Jabal. These communities lie close to the Israel–Lebanon border in an area where Israeli forces and Hezbollah have exchanged fire repeatedly. The material available here did not include information on casualties or the extent of structural damage.

Alongside the airstrikes, some accounts from the area said around one hundred IDF artillery shells were fired toward the Wadi Zibqin area. The shelling figure is based on those local reports and was not independently confirmed in the sources cited.

For residents of these southern Lebanese villages, each round of strikes and shelling makes daily life more precarious and keeps farmland, roads and homes exposed to sudden escalation. For Israel, operations of this kind form part of an ongoing effort to hit targets linked to hostile armed groups near the border.

Developments to watch in the coming period include any announcements from Lebanese authorities or Hezbollah about casualties or plans to respond, signs that Israel is expanding its target set deeper into Lebanon, and diplomatic reactions from states and organisations that monitor the Israel–Lebanon frontier.
