Israeli artillery fire is ongoing in the al-Mansouri area of southern Lebanon, according to reports. No further details on targets or casualties are available.
Israeli artillery fire continues in the al-Mansouri area of southern Lebanon as of Saturday afternoon. The shelling marks the latest in a series of strikes targeting the village over the past days, following earlier IAF airstrikes and multiple artillery barrages.
The thread of reporting on al-Mansouri began on Thursday, Aug 6, with reports of IAF strikes (versions 5–7), followed by dozens of artillery strikes shelling the village and the Ali al-Taher ridge. Reports subsequently specified a second artillery barrage that same day, and later Lebanese media reported a fire breaking out after IDF shelling and alleged the use of phosphorus shells. All of these reports, as published by The Zioneer at 00:53 Jerusalem on Thursday, were sourced from Lebanese media and security analyst Yair Goldblatt, with the IDF not commenting.
The current barrage continues a pattern of sustained Israeli operations in southern Lebanon, where IDF forces have been targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and assets. As The Zioneer has reported, the IDF warned residents to evacuate the area previously, and the region has seen repeated artillery and aerial attacks in recent weeks.
No details on specific targets or casualties from today's fire are yet available, and the IDF has not issued a statement. The use of specific munitions such as phosphorus shells in prior reports remains unconfirmed.
