Artillery fire reported near Chaqra in Nabatieh, south Lebanon, per Ali Shoeib's channel

Single source · Chaqra, Lebanon · 2026-10-16 05:20 UTC

Artillery fire near Chaqra in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, was reported on 16 October 2026 by a crowd report relayed by Al Manar, which attributes it to Ali Shoeib's Telegram channel and blames Israeli forces as reported. A separate @ME_Observer_ roundup post, and a repost of the Ali Shoeib page's report, describe Israeli artillery shelling of the Shanooh Farm area near Halta Kafr Shuba and several other south Lebanon villages overnight, without naming Chaqra. No casualty figures are given in any claim.

Sources disagree on:

• Location: the Al Manar-relayed claim places the shelling at Chaqra in Nabatieh, while the @ME_Observer_ roundup places it at the Shanooh Farm area near Halta Kafr Shuba and the Ali Shoeib page's overnight list does not mention Chaqra.
• Timing: the Chaqra claim is stamped 07:53 UTC, which is the minute it was reported, while the Ali Shoeib page post at 06:20 UTC describes an overnight wave of shelling, so the stated occurrence time is unreliable.
• Scope: the Ali Shoeib page lists ten villages (Haris, Sarbine, Kfar Tibnit, Al-Jarmaq, Wadi al-Hujeir, Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Wadi Nahla, Al-Mansouri, Shanouh, Wadi al-Salouqi), which the other two claims do not reproduce.
