Israeli Troops Hold Deir Mimas Olive Groves as Strikes Hit Heights Near Sajed, Reports Say

Courtroom-sketch editorial illustration of the south Lebanese village of Deir Mimas, its light stone houses set among dark olive trees on a hillside above a hazy valley, seen from a dry grassy hilltop with a pale dirt path, drawn from a 2019 photograph of the village; a contextual image of the place, not a depiction of the Israeli troops reported in the town's olive groves or of the strikes near Sajed in September 2026.

Israeli strikes hit Jabal al-Rafi' and the outskirts of Sajed, in the Iqlim al-Tuffah heights of southern Lebanon, on Saturday morning, Lebanese reports said, with one correspondent counting three strikes by concussion missiles whose blasts were heard as far as the Zahrani area. The same reports said the heights hold Hezbollah weapons depots and positions. An Israeli force also advanced to the southern outskirts of Deir Mimas in the Marjayoun district and took up position in the town's olive groves, where it remained. The Deir Mimas municipality asked residents to stay out of the fields and olive groves for security reasons until September 28.
