The IDF struck the town of Mansouri in southern Lebanon with three artillery shells a short time ago, according to a report.
The IDF struck the village of al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon with three artillery shells Saturday evening, according to a report. The strike is the latest in a sustained campaign of Israeli military operations targeting the village, which has become a focal point in enforcing the ceasefire with Hezbollah.
The Zioneer has tracked a series of strikes on al-Mansouri since early August. On Thursday, Aug 6, at 00:53 Jerusalem, the desk reported ongoing artillery fire, a fire breaking out from shelling, and Lebanese media reports of phosphorus shells. Earlier that day, a second artillery barrage had been reported, following an initial strike at 09:38. The sequence escalated to Israeli Air Force strikes, including large-scale bombardments, after the IDF issued an evacuation warning for the village on Wednesday, Aug 5 — the first such order in months, as The Zioneer reported at 17:29 Jerusalem. The military cited Hezbollah ceasefire violations as the catalyst.
As The Zioneer reported on Aug 5, the IDF launched precise strikes on Hezbollah assets in southern Lebanon after a ceasefire violation, and the Arabic-language spokesman issued an evacuation order for residents of al-Mansouri. The village, located in the Tyre district, has been a key target in Israeli efforts to dismantle Hezbollah terror infrastructure and prevent the group from reestablishing a presence near the border.
No details on the specific target, damage, or casualties from Saturday evening's strike have been released. The IDF has not commented on the report.
