Israeli drone strike targets Deir al-Zahrani in South Lebanon, killing one
An Israeli drone carried out an airstrike early Saturday morning in the town of Deir al-Zahrani, killing a young man identified as M.A.J., according to the National News Agency.
J. (33) was on his way from home at dawn, as he did every day, to perform morning prayers at the mosque in his hometown when the drone targeted his Kia vehicle on the road adjacent to the Deir al-Zahrani–Nabatieh highway near the pedestrian bridge. He was killed instantly.
He was the brother of a fighter who was killed in clashes with Israel in the town of Yohmor al-Shaqif during the 66-day war.
The strike was preceded by Israeli Apache helicopters flying deep into the area's airspace.

An expanding battlefield: US intervention in Iran-Israel conflict puts Israel on edge
Report by Amal Shehadeh, English adaptation by Yasmine Jaroudi Israel has re-entered an unprecedented state of emergency following the United States' direct military involvement in the war with Iran, a move that has significantly escalated the ongoing conflict. Hours after American strikes—carried out in coordination with the Israeli military—targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran responded with a barrage of ballistic missiles, launching two waves of 30 rockets that hit Tel Aviv, Haifa, and at least five other locations across the country. The impact of the strikes, which caused extensive destruction in urban areas, has drawn comparisons between scenes from Gaza and those in the heart of Tel Aviv. What had been a gradual return to routine life for many Israeli civilians quickly reversed as authorities reinstated a nationwide state of alert. Israel's military, citing elevated threats, has stepped up its operations by increasing aerial activity and deploying additional troops toward the northern borders with Lebanon and Syria, as well as eastward toward Jordan. Defense officials claim Iran is preparing coordinated attacks not only through intensified missile strikes but also via its regional proxies—particularly in Lebanon. A growing concern is the reported shortage of interceptor missiles in Israel's Arrow defense system. Sunday's Iranian strikes utilized warheads carrying massive explosive payloads, significantly increasing the blast radius and highlighting vulnerabilities in Israel's air defense capabilities. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's camp sees the U.S. intervention as a strategic gain, it has also triggered domestic criticism. Several political voices are now urging an immediate end to Israel's campaign against Iran, citing Netanyahu's own earlier remarks that U.S. involvement would bring the war to a rapid close—comments now seen as increasingly at odds with the current trajectory of the conflict. The recent American strike on Iran's underground Fordow nuclear facility has become a key flashpoint, underscoring just how deeply Israel is now entrenched in a high-stakes regional war with unpredictable consequences.
