·Harouf, Nabatieh district, southern Lebanon
An Israeli air strike hit the town of Harouf in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, killing 2 people and injuring 8 others, according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency. The strike is part of the IDF's ongoing security zone campaign in southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah infrastructure south of the Litani River.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported on March 26 that an Israeli air strike hit the town of Harouf in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, killing 2 people and injuring 8 others. Harouf is located in the Nabatieh district — within the zone where the IDF declared a security perimeter (Blue Line to the Litani River) on Day 26. The town is approximately 15km north of the Blue Line. The strike extends IDF operations to the mid-Litani zone, consistent with IDF Chief Katz's stated intention to create a security zone between the Blue Line and the Litani River. Day 26 southern Lebanon operations: earlier strikes killed 9 in Nabatiyeh, Sidon, and Tyre; this Harouf strike brings the Day 26 Lebanon death toll to at least 11. Hezbollah claimed to have forced an Israeli fighter jet to retreat with a SAM on Day 26 — the broader context of intensifying air combat over southern Lebanon.
