Israeli forces carried out demolitions, explosions, and artillery attacks across several towns in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, according to Lebanese media.
In Al-Mansouri, Tyre district, troops demolished structures as 155-mm shells struck the Hay Ghazaleh area. Drones were also seen placing explosive-laden barrels on rooftops for later detonation.
Lebanese outlets reported blasts in Kounine, Bint Jbeil district, and Majdal Zoun, Tyre district, that sent tremors through Tyre and surrounding villages, while Israeli troops set fire to the remains of homes in Al-Bayada and shelled Haddatha.
Elsewhere, a drone dropped a stun grenade near a shepherd in the Marjayoun area, as low-altitude flights were recorded over Al-Zahrani, Ghaziyeh, Qanarit, Beirut, and its southern suburbs.
