Israeli air strike knocks out electricity in Lebanon's Nabaa el-Hamas area

An Israeli strike on al-Khiam damaged power lines, causing a full blackout in the Nabaa el-Hamas district of southern Lebanon.

Overnight, Israeli aircraft hit al-Khiam in the Nabatieh Governorate, destroying electricity infrastructure and leaving the Nabaa el-Hamas neighbourhood without power. The National News Agency said the blast also generated strong shockwaves across the south. Earlier in the week, Israeli artillery shelled Al-Mansouri and Baraachit, and forces moved toward Mansouri, using bulldozers and planting explosives in several homes, especially in the town’s Fourth Neighbourhood.

Why it matters

The blackout highlights the escalating cross-border hostilities and their impact on civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
