Israeli forces shelling Ali al-Taher forest on outskirts of Lebanon’s Nabatieh

Israeli forces have carried out a significant explosion in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, as reported by Middle East Eye. The blast, which shattered windows in several nearby towns, occurred despite a ceasefire and has been part of Israel's ongoing bombardment and ground operations in the region. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh on Saturday, near a strategic Hezbollah position that the Israeli army had destroyed earlier in the week.

A 4.1 magnitude tremor was triggered by Israeli bombardment, which Israel claimed destroyed a network of Hezbollah tunnels in Nabatieh.
