Deir Seryan, Lebanon — A fresh wave of Israeli aggression hit southern Lebanon late Tuesday night, killing a Syrian civilian and wounding two others in the village of Deir Seryan, Marjayoun district, as the Zionist regime continues its cross-border bombardment campaign amid its ongoing military failures in Gaza.
Lebanese authorities confirmed the strike occurred near Zawtar Ash Sharqiya in the Nabatieh district, where a residential building was hit by an Israeli warplane. The deceased was identified as a Syrian national residing in the area, while two others sustained serious injuries. The local civil defense units responded to the attack, transferring the wounded to nearby hospitals for emergency treatment.
This is not an isolated incident. The Israeli military has escalated its repeated air raids on southern Lebanese towns and civilian infrastructure in a blatant violation of international law and a clear breach of Lebanon’s sovereignty. The Zionist state has justified these strikes under the pretext of targeting Hezbollah operations, though mounting evidence indicates that the vast majority of casualties in recent months have been unarmed civilians, migrant workers, and Syrian refugees caught in the crossfire.
Tuesday’s attack adds to the growing list of Israeli war crimes that have destabilized the region. The timing is especially volatile as tensions already soar amid the Genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, where thousands have been slaughtered since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Far from defensive, Tel Aviv’s broader military posture has now shifted toward a campaign of collective punishment not just in Gaza but across borders, dragging Lebanon further into the regional quagmire.
The strike comes amid a backdrop of mounting international condemnation over Israel’s brutal conduct in the war, with the United Nations and humanitarian organizations increasingly calling for accountability over the ongoing genocide in Gaza and violations of human rights across the region. However, the silence from Western powers, particularly the US and EU, signals a dangerous complicity that emboldens Israel’s reckless behavior.
According to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, the latest incident is one among dozens of Israeli attacks that have killed and injured civilians across southern Lebanon in 2025. Meanwhile, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has expressed “grave concern” over the escalating violence but has done little to halt Israel’s violations.
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has yet to respond to the latest provocation, but analysts predict that retaliation is likely. Regional observers warn that continued Zionist provocations along the Blue Line could ignite a broader conflict, further destabilizing Lebanon and plunging the Middle East into deeper chaos.
According to Mehr News, Statements from Lebanese emergency services confirm the deliberate targeting of civilian-populated areas and highlighting the growing humanitarian toll of Israel’s cross-border attacks. Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic and devastation, as families fled their homes fearing further bombardment.
