Israel destroys Lebanese Central Bank branch in Nabatieh

Israel destroyed the Lebanese Central Bank branch in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, escalating its military operations despite a fragile ceasefire. The attack targeted a key financial institution in the city, which has been repeatedly hit by Israeli strikes. This comes as the IDF continues to expand its declared security zone and conduct strikes across southern Lebanon, drawing condemnation from local authorities. The destruction of the central bank branch further cripples Lebanon's economic infrastructure amid ongoing hostilities.
