The Israeli military has carried out fresh airstrikes on the Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon, coming just hours after a day marked as the deadliest so far in the ongoing series of Israeli raids on the area.

As a result of the latest strikes, numerous families in the affected district have left their homes, moving north within Lebanon in an effort to reach safer ground away from the areas under attack.
