The IDF carried out strikes and controlled building demolitions in the village of Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon Monday evening, according to Israeli media and Lebanese channels. Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported explosions in the village, while journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh (N13/Army Radio) confirmed an IDF strike. Lebanese channels reported the blasts were heard across southern Lebanon.
The IDF conducted a strike in the village of Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon at approximately 22:28 Jerusalem on Monday, according to reports from Israeli journalists and Lebanese channels. Security analyst Yair Goldblatt documented multiple building demolitions and explosions in the village, with reports audible across southern Lebanon. Artillery fire was also directed at the Ali al-Tahar ridge. The village, part of the Israeli security zone, has not been under ground IDF control, and the military had covertly permitted Lebanese civilians to enter the area in recent weeks.
The activity marked a continuation of IDF operations in Al-Mansouri. On Sunday, August 9, an explosion in the village was reported, with Lebanese channels divided on whether it was an airstrike or a controlled detonation by the IDF. On Wednesday, August 5, the IDF issued its first evacuation warning for the village in months, citing Hezbollah ceasefire violations. The village is strategically located near the Mediterranean coast and has been used by Hezbollah for rocket launch sites and observation posts.
This evening's reports add to a pattern of IDF operations in the area, including the earlier strike at 22:28 and subsequent controlled demolitions. No casualty figures have been reported.
