Multiple residents told Drop Site that the events on Thursday bore resemblance to April 8, when the Israeli military struck more than 150 locations across Lebanon in the span of ten minutes after the United States and Iran first agreed to a temporary ceasefire—an attack that killed over 350 people and is referred to in Lebanon as “Black Wednesday.”

The lack of warning, the breadth and scale of the bombardment, and the timing were echoed in Thursday’s assault on Nabatieh. In both cases, Israel launched an intensified attack after Washington and Tehran reached an agreement that included a ceasefire in Lebanon in no uncertain terms.
