Israeli forces have allegedly dropped phosphorus bombs in several areas of southern Lebanon, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA).
The report said the strikes targeted olive and pine groves in the towns of Yaroun and Arnoun, as well as areas in the Bint Jbeil district under Nabatieh governorate. The attacks reportedly sparked large fires, causing significant environmental damage.
NNA also claimed that Israeli forces carried out two missile strikes near Ali al-Taher hill, close to Nabatieh. In a separate incident, a drone allegedly dropped a stun grenade in the Bayt al-Sayyad area near the coastal city of Tyre.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced the conclusion of operations by its 401st Brigade in southern Lebanon. In a statement released on Sunday, the army said the brigade—operating under the 91st Division—had been deployed in the border region for the past eight months.
According to the statement, the brigade conducted both defensive and offensive operations across what Israel described as a “security zone” in southern Lebanon. It claimed to have destroyed more than 1,200 Hezbollah sites, including extensive underground tunnel networks.
The Israeli military further stated that over 600 weapons were seized during the operation and more than 60 Hezbollah fighters were killed.
The situation remains tense, with conflicting claims from both sides and growing concerns over further escalation in the region.
