An Israeli airstrike hit the town of al-Mansouri in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent. No details on the target or casualties are available.
In the latest of a series of strikes on the southern Lebanese village of al-Mansouri tonight, an Al Jazeera correspondent reports an Israeli airstrike on the town. The report, published around 02:10 Jerusalem, comes about an hour after initial reports of multiple strikes on the same village in the Tyre district.
Initial reports at 00:53 Jerusalem Thursday, attributed to Lebanese sources and cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, described airstrikes and artillery fire targeting al-Mansouri. Within minutes, additional reports emerged of further strikes and footage from the village. By 00:53, Lebanese media reported dozens of artillery strikes on al-Mansouri and the nearby Ali al-Taher ridge. The latest Al Jazeera report adds a new source to the thread, confirming continued aerial activity in the area.
Al-Mansouri, a Shiite village in the Tyre district, has been a repeated target of Israeli strikes during the conflict with the Hezbollah terror organization. As The Zioneer has reported, the village and its surroundings have been identified as sites where Hezbollah maintains tactical infrastructure, including rocket launch sites and observation posts. The area has seen heavy ground fighting and extensive IDF strikes in recent months.
No details on the target of the latest airstrike or any casualties have been reported, and the IDF has not commented. It remains unclear whether the airstrike reported by Al Jazeera is a separate event from the earlier artillery barrages or part of the same operational activity.
