Two killed in Israeli strikes on Mansouri, Mayfadoun
An Israeli airstrike targeted Friday a vehicle in the southern town of al-Mansouri in the Tyre district, killing one person, hours after another strike overnight targeted a car in Mayfadoun, also killing a person.
On Thursday, the Israeli military said it conducted air strikes against Hezbollah targets shortly after issuing evacuation orders for the village of Sohmor and Machghara in West Bekaa. It later targeted Hermel's outskirts in Bekaa.
The strikes come a week after the Lebanese military said it had completed disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani River, the first phase of a nationwide plan, though Israel has called those efforts insufficient.
Israel has kept up regular strikes in Lebanon despite a November 2024 ceasefire.
On Sunday, Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported "a series of violent Israeli strikes" on Jezzine, Mahmoudiyeh and al-Dimasqiyeh, as well as "more than 10 strikes" on al-Bureij, all in southern Lebanon.
