If universities across the US had listened to the student protesters demanding divestment from Israel back in 2024 instead of brutally cracking down on them maybe the genocide in Gaza wouldn't have matastasized into full-on ethnic cleansing in Southern Lebanon and a war on Iran that's sent gas prices to $4.50 a gallon.
🇱🇧 Israeli Attacks on Lebanon- June 13, 2026
Israel intensified its assault across Lebanon on Saturday, with at least 7 people reported killed and several others wounded in attacks across the south.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said this morning that Israeli attacks have killed 45 people and wounded 149 over the past 48 hours.
Airstrikes, drone attacks, artillery fire and ground operations targeted dozens of locations across southern Lebanon and the western Bekaa on Saturday. Incidents, as reported by L’Orient Today:
🔹 A drone strike killed Mohammad Trad while he was visiting his father’s grave in the cemetery in Maarakeh, a village near the southern coastal city of Sour (Tyre).
🔹 An Israeli strike at dawn killed 2 people in Kfar Rummane, near the southern city of Nabatieh, while rescue teams continued searching for possible missing persons.
🔹 An Israeli airstrike on Ansar (photo), in the Sidon district of southern Lebanon, killed Saleh Ali al-Masri. A separate strike between Ansar and the neighboring village of Sinai wounded several others after destroying a house, while later Israeli airstrikes also targeted nearby Kouthriet al-Rizz.
🔹 An Israeli drone seriously wounded a Lebanese Army soldier near Nabatieh in what the military said was a double-tap strike, first targeting him near Al-Najda Hospital before striking him again as he fled on a motorcycle.
🔹 A drone strike landed near emergency workers from the al-Rissala Scouts and the Islamic Health Committee as they inspected damage in Seddiqine, forcing the rescue team to withdraw. At least 133 medical workers have been killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
🔹 Israeli strikes killed the current and former mukhtars of Rihane, a village in the Jezzine district of southern Lebanon. Mukhtar Ali Badih Hussein was killed when a missile struck his vehicle, while former mukhtar Ismail Abdallah, an employee of the state electricity company, was killed by a drone strike outside his home. Additional airstrikes reportedly forced the village’s remaining families to flee.
🔹 Israel ordered the evacuation of 24 villages across the Nabatieh, Jezzine and Sidon districts, ordering residents to head north of the Zahrani River.
🔹 According to local reporting, Israeli warplanes struck 24 southern Lebanese localities on Friday, while drones targeted six localities and intensive artillery fire hit 19 others.
🔹 Israeli warplanes and drones today struck or shelled Ansar, Baraasheet, Kfar Tebnit, Rihane, Seddiqine, Toul, Kfour, Majdal Zoun, Deir Zahrani, Qalawieh, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Zibqine, Kouthriet al-Rizz, Aramta, Khiam, Tiri, Srifa and several other villages across southern Lebanon, while artillery fire also targeted the western Bekaa, including the outskirts of Qlaya and Zilaya.
Heavy fighting had continued overnight around Kfar Tebnit, Arnoun and the strategic Ali Taher hills, where Hezbollah said it repelled an Israeli ground advance as warplanes, helicopters and artillery pounded the area. The Israeli military claimed it killed 7 Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon over the past week.
