The IDF is conducting artillery strikes toward the Shia village of al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, according to security correspondent Yair Goldblatt. This marks the second artillery barrage on the village today, following an earlier strike reported at 09:38 Jerusalem. No details on targets, damage, or casualties are yet available.
The IDF has struck al-Mansouri repeatedly since Thursday, when the military issued an evacuation warning for the village, the first such directive in months. Thursday's operations included multiple IAF airstrikes and artillery barrages, as reported by Lebanese media and confirmed by Israeli sources. The strikes continued into the early hours of Friday, with Lebanese reports indicating an artillery strike at 03:38 Jerusalem, followed by another at 09:38. The source of reporting has evolved from Lebanese media alone to on-the-record confirmation from Israeli security analyst Goldblatt.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, the IDF cited Hezbollah ceasefire violations as the catalyst for the evacuation warning, instructing residents to move one kilometer north. The IDF has continued to target Hezbollah infrastructure in the area as part of its campaign to prevent the terror group's rehabilitation near the border.
No information has been released on specific targets, munitions used, or casualties from today's strikes.
