Intermittent Israeli artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of Mayfadoun, near Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, in southern Lebanon this morning, according to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA). The shelling was reported as ongoing, with no immediate details on casualties or damage.
Earlier, NNA reported that Israeli warplanes launched overnight air strikes on the southern town of al-Mansouri. The strikes were part of continued cross-border tensions between Israel and Lebanese territory, particularly in areas where Hezbollah has a presence.
The incidents add to a series of recent exchanges along the Lebanon-Israel border, which have raised concerns about a broader escalation. The Israeli military has not officially commented on the reported shelling or air strikes.
According to the National News Agency, the shelling and air strikes are the latest in a pattern of Israeli actions against targets in southern Lebanon, which have intensified in recent weeks. The reports come amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran and its allies, including Hezbollah.
As of now, there have been no official statements from Hezbollah or the Lebanese government regarding the incidents. The situation remains fluid, with local authorities monitoring the border area.
