Israeli jets launched ten strikes on six excavation yards along the Al-Msayleh road in southern Lebanon at 4 AM UTC on October 11th, 2025, killing one civilian and injuring another, according to Drop Site News. The intense fires from the strikes reportedly cut off the Al-Msayleh road, and fire crews responded to the scene. Israel claims to target "Hezbollah infrastructure," but Drop Site News reports that civilian bulldozers and heavy equipment used for clearing rubble were destroyed. These airstrikes are part of a systematic effort to obstruct reconstruction in southern Lebanon's border towns, which Drop Site News describes as a "no rebuild zone." This pattern includes similar raids on September 3rd that destroyed excavator fleets, and frequent Israeli quadcopter drone drops on bulldozers since the ceasefire to prevent debris removal. The incident occurred during the reporting window of 10/11/2025, 4:06:17 AM to 10/11/2025, 5:36:11 AM UTC. This activity follows intensified Israeli airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon that occurred between 1:06 AM and 4:06 AM UTC on October 11th, 2025. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had previously announced an early October 11th, 2025, strike on Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure where engineering tools for restoration were stored, stating that Hezbollah's activities violated understandings and endangered civilians. The IDF stated its operations aimed to disrupt Hezbollah's ongoing rehabilitation of terrorist infrastructure and that it would continue to take necessary action.
