Initial reports indicate a possible Israeli drone strike targeted a motorcycle in Qabrikha, southern Lebanon. Footage from frontline reporter @sayedhashem90

According to Al-Manar field correspondent @sayedhashem90, reporting from the border area between Hariss and Haddatha in southern Lebanon, local residents are defying traditional economic rules by reopening small commercial businesses in an area subjected to near-daily Israeli shelling and proximity to occupied Palestine. Shopkeepers have repeatedly rebuilt and reopened their stores after previous locations were destroyed by Israeli strikes. These efforts are not profit-driven ventures, but are a deliberate strategy of territorial presence and personal responsibility to prevent forced displacement, with business owners adapting by offering delivery services to keep the remaining community supplied with essential household goods. According to interviewees featured in the piece, local residents are enduring extreme financial hardship and shrapnel damage to their homes while receiving no material support from the Lebanese state. Despite these conditions, locals refuse to leave, using these reopened storefronts as social gathering points where cultural expressions and poetry about land ownership are passed down to younger generations.

Field reporter @sayedhashem90 delivers a comprehensive overview of ongoing Israeli aggression and widespread destruction across the villages of the central sector in southern Lebanon, near the border with occupied Palestine. Reporting from a vantage point overlooking Bint Jbeil, he details the severe structural devastation inflicted by Israeli forces on several border towns, including Ain Ebel, Kounine, Maroun al-Ras, and Aitaroun. In addition to physical destruction, today we have seen repeated airstrikes targeting the towns of Baraachit and Beit Yahoun. Not a single hour passes in southern Lebanon without Israeli attacks and systematic destruction targeting border communities.
