Al-Manar TV Lebanon

In a separate report, Al Jazeera said the Israeli army conducted intensive airstrikes on southern Lebanon and on the southern suburbs of Beirut, and issued an evacuation warning to residents of a southern village.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that strikes hit the towns of Al-Mansouri, Kfar Reman, and Hanin in the south, and also said an Israeli airstrike hit a building in Beirut's southern suburb early Friday.

The same Al Jazeera account later confirmed that the Israeli army carried out a strike with incendiary bombs on the outskirts of Al-Bayyada in southern Lebanon, and carried out two strikes on the outskirts of Al-Ramadiyah and Kafra in southern Lebanon.

Al Jazeera also reported that the Israeli army issued an urgent warning to residents of the village of Sajd in southern Lebanon to evacuate their homes immediately and move north of the Zahrani River in preparation for targeting the village.

The Al Jazeera report quoted the Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee, saying in a post on X that residents should leave immediately and that the move comes as part of efforts against Hezbollah activities.

Al Jazeera further described the Zahrani River as a lifeline running for 25 kilometers through towns and villages in the Nabatieh and Sidon districts and flowing into the Mediterranean Sea south of the city of Sidon.

Hezbollah reported a series of attacks on Israeli sites and military vehicles, describing seven rocket and explosive-device strikes since dawn on Friday.

Al Jazeera said Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted a Merkava tank on the southwestern outskirts of the town of Al-Bayyada with a guided missile, achieving a direct hit.

The report said Hezbollah also announced targeting the settlement of Kiryat Shmona in the Upper Galilee twice, and detonating explosive devices on Israeli vehicles and soldiers on the Tayiba-Qantara road and in the town of Deir Siran, while confirming injuries.

In addition to those claims, Al Jazeera said Hezbollah shelled Israeli forces’ gatherings in the towns of Dibl, Al-Qantara, and Beit Leiv, and then later announced a second strike on a gathering of Israeli soldiers and vehicles in the town of Qantara.

Al Jazeera also included an Israeli account that an officer and a soldier were seriously wounded during what it described as an “operational maneuver” in southern Lebanon last night.

The same Al Jazeera report said Channel 12 reported Friday afternoon that Israeli defenses intercepted a rocket fired from Lebanon toward the Upper Galilee, while another rocket fell in an open area.

Al Jazeera framed the day’s developments as coming after a prior escalation by Hezbollah yesterday that included 93 rocket and drone strikes targeting vital Israeli facilities, including the Defense Ministry and the Northern Front command.

Lebanese authorities’ casualty and displacement figures were cited by Al Jazeera in the context of the ongoing Israeli escalation that began on March 2.

“Beirut – SABA: The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced today, Friday, that it carried out a series of military operations against gatherings, armored vehicles, and settlements of the Zionist enemy in the occupied southern Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian territories”

Al Jazeera said that “the toll since the start of the Israeli escalation on March 2 this year has reached 1,094 killed and 3,119 injured,” and added that the escalation had also displaced “more than a million people.”

The same Al Jazeera report also said the Israeli army acknowledged the killing of two soldiers and injuries to four others, including two officers, during fighting in southern Lebanon.

Al Jazeera’s account of the day’s strikes and Hezbollah’s responses came alongside those totals, linking the immediate shelling and rocket claims to a broader timeline.

Al-Manar TV Lebanon’s live reporting similarly emphasized ongoing artillery shelling of southern Lebanese towns such as Deir Seryan, Houla and Al-Qantara.

While Al-Manar TV Lebanon’s excerpt did not provide casualty totals, it placed the shelling in the same operational space described by Al Jazeera’s evacuation warnings and strikes.

Together, the reports portray a conflict with both immediate battlefield claims and cumulative figures tied to the March 2 start of the Israeli escalation.

A Yemeni News Agency (SABA) report framed the fighting through a sequence of “ten separate statements” reviewed by SABA, describing operations by the “Islamic Resistance in Lebanon” against “gatherings, armored vehicles, and settlements of the Zionist enemy” in occupied southern Lebanon and occupied Palestinian territories.

The SABA account said the operations came “in defense of Lebanon and its people” and “within the framework of the battle 'Al-Asef al-Ma'kul'.”

It then listed Statement No. 1 through Statement No. 10 with specific times and locations, including multiple rocket volleys at Khallat al-Ain in the town of al-Qantara at 00:05 on Friday, March 27, 2026 and again at 00:10 on the same date.

SABA’s Statement No. 3 said fighters targeted a gathering of soldiers and Israeli army vehicles “in the square of the town of al-Qantara” at 00:15 on Friday, March 27, 2026 with a volley of rockets.

The report’s Statement No. 4 described a guided missile strike at 00:15 on Friday, March 27, 2026 after monitoring the advance of an Israeli force at Khillat al-Jawar east of the town of Beit Leif, with SABA saying it achieved a direct strike.

SABA’s Statement No. 5 said fighters targeted a gathering near the cemetery of the town of al-Qantara at 00:50 on Friday, March 27, 2026 with a volley of rockets, and Statement No. 6 said a volley of rockets hit a gathering at Birkat al-Dibl (pond) of the village of Dabl at 02:15 on Friday, March 27, 2026.

The SABA timeline also included actions on Thursday, March 26, 2026, including detonating explosive devices at 14:00 on the Tayba–al-Qantara road south of Lebanon and detonating explosive devices in the town of Deir Suryan at 14:50, both with “confirmed injuries” claimed by the report.

Across the three reports, the same front line is described through sharply different emphases: Al Jazeera focuses on Israeli strikes, evacuation warnings, and Hezbollah’s claimed rocket attacks, while SABA provides a timestamped list of resistance operations, and Al-Manar TV Lebanon highlights artillery shelling of specific towns.

“The Israeli army conducted intensive airstrikes on southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut today, Friday, and issued an evacuation warning to residents of a southern village, while Hezbollah announced that it had carried out seven rocket and explosive-device attacks on Israeli sites and military vehicles since dawn”

Al-Jazeera Net

Al Jazeera’s account ties the day’s events to a wider escalation timeline by stating that the Israeli escalation began on March 2 and that the toll has reached “1,094 killed and 3,119 injured,” with “more than a million people” displaced.

It also includes an Israeli spokesman’s evacuation message via Avichai Adraee, and it specifies that the Israeli army warned residents of Sajd to evacuate immediately and move north of the Zahrani River.

SABA, by contrast, does not center evacuation warnings or Israeli casualty acknowledgments, instead presenting “ten separate statements” with exact times such as 00:05, 00:10, 00:15, 00:50, 02:15, and 14:00, and naming locations like Khallat al-Ain in al-Qantara, Khillat al-Jawar east of Beit Leif, Birkat al-Dibl (pond) of Dabl, and Deir Suryan.

Al-Manar TV Lebanon’s excerpt is brief but names the southern towns of Deir Seryan, Houla and Al-Qantara as targets of Israeli artillery shells.

Even where the reports overlap in geography—al-Qantara, Deir Suryan, and Kiryat Shmona—Al Jazeera and SABA describe different sides’ actions: Al Jazeera says Hezbollah targeted Kiryat Shmona twice and detonated explosive devices on the Tayiba-Qantara road, while SABA lists rocket volleys and warnings directed at Kiryat Shmona at 04:30 and 07:15 on Friday, March 27, 2026.

For readers tracking the conflict, the divergence is not only in tone but in the type of detail each outlet chooses to foreground: evacuation geography and river boundaries in Al Jazeera, and minute-by-minute operational claims in SABA, alongside town-level shelling in Al-Manar TV Lebanon.
