IDF strikes kill 9 across southern Lebanon — Nabatiyeh, Sidon, Tyre hit with dozens injured

Israeli airstrikes struck multiple locations across southern Lebanon on March 25, killing nine people and injuring dozens more according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Breakdown by location: Nabatiyeh — 3 killed, 18 injured; Sidon — 6 killed, 5 wounded; Tyre — 29 injured. The strikes are consistent with Israel's ongoing campaign against Hezbollah's logistics supply chain, command infrastructure, and rocket-firing positions in southern Lebanon. On Day 25, the IAF struck Al-Amana Hezbollah fuel networks across Lebanon and destroyed Radwan Force HQ and Hezbollah Intelligence HQ in Beirut. Defense Minister Katz declared Israel will establish and hold a southern Lebanon security zone up to the Litani River until the Hezbollah threat is removed — signalling a semi-permanent Israeli military presence in the region. Lebanon's Health Ministry has been tracking cumulative casualties from Israeli strikes; the conflict has now killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon. Sidon and Tyre are key coastal cities in southern Lebanon that have been repeatedly targeted for their role in Hezbollah supply logistics; Nabatiyeh is a Hezbollah stronghold inland near the Israeli border.
