The Israel Defense Forces conducted targeted airstrikes on March 18, 2026, against Al-Amana fuel stations in southern Lebanese villages, including Zarifeh, Deir Kanoun al-Nahr, Beit Yahoun, and Burj al-Shamali. These facilities, reportedly affiliated with Hezbollah, are used to support militant vehicle operations, and the strikes aim to disrupt their mobility and logistics.

Accompanying video footage shows widespread structural damage, thick smoke plumes, and firefighters responding to multiple fires, consistent with eyewitness accounts of the strikes. Officials emphasized that the operations are precise and focused on infrastructure used for militant activities, minimizing civilian casualties.

The attacks follow an IDF evacuation order for Tyre-area residents, underscoring heightened security measures in the region. Analysts note that the strikes form part of a broader campaign to dismantle Hezbollah’s logistical networks, targeting key supply points to reduce operational capability.

These operations highlight Israel’s ongoing commitment to degrading militant infrastructure in southern Lebanon. By targeting fuel depots and transport hubs, the IDF aims to limit Hezbollah’s capacity for attacks while maintaining strategic pressure during the current escalation.
