Israeli strikes hit Mayfadoun as southern Lebanon comes under renewed fire
Israeli strikes and shelling continued in southern Lebanon on 27 September, with both Profile News and Al Jazeera reporting a strike near Mayfadoun. Profile News also reported attacks around Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit. Israel linked its strikes to a drone incident, but the drone’s origin had not been independently verified in the retained reporting. The attacks show that the ceasefire framework has not ended military activity in the area.

A strike near Mayfadoun amid wider fire
Israeli strikes and shelling were reported across southern Lebanon on Sunday, 27 September. Al Jazeera reported that an Israeli Apache helicopter hit a commercial centre near Mayfadoun. Profile News, citing correspondents in the south, reported Israeli strikes at Mayfadoun and around Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit. The two publishers thus report the same day's violence around Mayfadoun, while their descriptions of the precise targets are different and should not be collapsed into one claimed impact site. Profile News also reported artillery fire and heavy-weapons activity in other southern areas. Its account provides the wider local sequence; Al Jazeera's short video report directly supports the shared core of continued strikes and the Mayfadoun attack.[1], [2]
Field reports describe more than one location
According to Profile News correspondents, overnight strikes reached the outskirts of Kfar Tebnit and Nabatieh al-Fawqa as well as Mayfadoun. They reported a destroyed house in Mayfadoun and later strikes on the road between Choukine and Mayfadoun. These details are from Profile News's field account; Al Jazeera's retained report does not independently verify each location or the damage to the house. Al Jazeera does report strikes and shelling continuing across the south despite a US-brokered ceasefire framework. Together, the accounts establish continued military activity and a Mayfadoun strike, while the broader list of towns rests on the local correspondents. No casualty total is stated in either retained account, so this report cannot attach one to the operation.[1], [2]
The claimed drone trigger remains unverified
The Israeli military said an explosive-laden drone had flown toward its forces overnight and attributed it to Hezbollah. Profile News reported that account as an Israeli claim and said neither the launcher's identity nor that attribution had been independently verified; Hezbollah had not claimed responsibility when the report was prepared. Israel said it then attacked sites it described as drone and anti-tank missile infrastructure. Those descriptions are its account of the targets, not independent findings. Al Jazeera's report focuses on the resulting strikes near Mayfadoun and the continued military action despite the ceasefire framework. The reported strikes can therefore be described without treating the disputed drone attribution as established or suggesting that the ceasefire had stopped the use of force before this day.[1], [2]
