Israeli air strikes hit Mansouri and Tyre area amid claims of Hezbollah tunnel destruction
Israeli jets bombed Mansouri and residential zones near Tyre in southern Lebanon, while artillery fire was reported near Meiss Ej Jabal.
The Lebanese National News Agency said Israeli aircraft targeted infrastructure and homes in Mansouri and also hit residential districts south of Tyre. Artillery shells were fired close to the town of Meiss Ej Jabal. The attacks coincided with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement that Israeli forces had demolished a Hezbollah underground facility near Nabatieh, which he said housed weapons and military infrastructure.
Why it matters
The strikes show a heightened Israeli-Lebanese confrontation and potential escalation of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
