The Israeli Air Force conducted two strikes on the village of al-Mansouri in the western sector of southern Lebanon Thursday afternoon, according to reports. No details on the targets or any casualties have been released.
The Israeli Air Force struck the village of al-Mansouri in the western sector of southern Lebanon with two strikes Thursday afternoon, security channels reported. The strikes follow a series of attacks on the same village overnight and early Thursday, continuing a pattern of intensified Israeli operations in the area.
Reports on the village began around 00:53 Jerusalem, when security analyst Yair Goldblatt cited Lebanese sources describing Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire on the Shiite village. Minutes later, Goldblatt released additional footage, and Lebanese media reported further strikes, followed by reports of dozens of artillery strikes on al-Mansouri and the nearby Ali al-Taher ridge. By 00:53, Al Jazeera's correspondent reported an Israeli airstrike on the town. The reports evolved from single-source Lebanese accounts to corroboration by multiple outlets, including Al Jazeera, though the IDF has not commented on any of the strikes.
The village of al-Mansouri has been a frequent target of Israeli airstrikes in recent months, as The Zioneer has reported. On Wednesday, the IDF issued its first evacuation warning in months for the village, citing Hezbollah ceasefire violations, and conducted airstrikes on terror targets in the area. The wider campaign has seen dozens of IAF strikes across southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah infrastructure embedded in civilian areas, as The Zioneer reported in June.
No information on the specific targets of the afternoon strikes or any casualties has been released. The IDF has not commented on the reports, and it remains unclear whether the two strikes were part of a coordinated wave or isolated operations.
