The Israel Defense Forces carried out an airstrike on the Shiite village of al-Mansouri; artillery strikes on the Ali al-Taher ridge, al-Mansouri, Bani Hayyan, and Zutar al-Sharqiya; and controlled building explosions in Taybeh, Deir Siryan, near Markaba and Bani Hayyan, Qantara, Majdal Zoun, Zutar al-Sharqiya, and al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon on Monday, according to Lebanese sources cited by security analyst Yair Goldblatt. No casualties or specific targets were reported.
On Monday, security analyst Yair Goldblatt, citing Lebanese sources, published a summary listing IDF operations across an expanded list of villages in southern Lebanon — an airstrike on al-Mansouri; artillery fire on the Ali al-Taher ridge, al-Mansouri, Bani Hayyan, and Zutar al-Sharqiya; and controlled building explosions in Taybeh, Deir Siryan, near Markaba and Bani Hayyan, Qantara, Majdal Zoun, Zutar al-Sharqiya, and al-Mansouri. The summary marks a significant geographic expansion from the Sunday evening reports, which had focused on al-Mansouri and Telousa.
On Sunday at 19:52 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported initial footage of IDF building explosions in al-Mansouri. Over the course of the evening, the thread grew: two strikes in the village, reports that the blasts were heard across southern Lebanon, and later artillery on the Ali al-Taher ridge and building explosions in Telousa. All reports were attributed to Goldblatt citing Lebanese sources, and were corroborated by Israeli journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh. The IDF did not comment on any of the Sunday operations.
The Zioneer has previously reported on sustained IDF operations in southern Lebanon. On August 3, controlled demolitions were reported in al-Mansouri; on July 28 in Qantara; and on July 29, explosions were reported in eight villages including al-Mansouri, Telousa, and others. These operations are part of the ongoing campaign against Hezbollah infrastructure in the region, as The Zioneer documented in a broader overview on June 12.
No casualties or specific targets were reported in the Monday summary, and the IDF has not commented. The reported scope of activity continues to expand, with Goldblatt’s Lebanese sources serving as the primary conduit for operational details on the ground.
