Lebanese media, as reported by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, report dozens of artillery strikes targeting the Shiite village of Al-Mansouri and the Ali al-Taher ridge area in southern Lebanon. The IDF has not commented on the reports; no casualty figures are available.
Security analyst Yair Goldblatt, citing Lebanese media, reported at 02:10 Jerusalem that dozens of artillery strikes are targeting the Shiite village of Al-Mansouri and the Ali al-Taher ridge area in southern Lebanon. The IDF has not commented on the reports, and no casualty figures or details on munitions are yet available.
The new reports mark an escalation in scope from earlier accounts this evening. At 00:53 Jerusalem, initial reports described airstrikes and artillery fire on Al-Mansouri. Minutes later, at the same time, additional footage from the village was posted, and further reports of additional strikes emerged. At 01:03 Jerusalem, a subsequent bulletin confirmed additional strikes on Al-Mansouri. The current reports now specify 'dozens of artillery strikes' and expand the target area to include the Ali al-Taher ridge, a location that has been targeted in previous IDF operations, as The Zioneer reported on July 26.
These strikes are part of a broader pattern of IDF operations in southern Lebanon aimed at Hezbollah infrastructure in the region. The Zioneer has previously documented extensive IDF artillery and airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions across southern Lebanon, including in the Ali al-Taher area and other Shiite villages.
No official statement from the IDF has been issued, and the details of the strikes remain unverified by independent sources. The full extent of the operation and any casualties are not yet known.
