Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling in southern Lebanon

On Monday, various areas in southern Lebanon witnessed airstrikes, artillery shelling, and machine-gun fire, coinciding with very low-altitude drone flights over Beirut and its southern suburbs.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that a drone was observed flying over Beirut and its southern suburbs at very low altitudes since the early morning.

The official agency also reported low-altitude flights by enemy aircraft over southern Lebanon.

Nabatieh Governorate

In the Nabatieh district of the same governorate, Israeli warplanes struck the town of Kfar Tebnit twice in less than half an hour, and Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah and Mayfadoun with heavy shells.

In the Marjeyoun district, Israeli forces conducted a machine-gun sweep in the town of Khiam. The Israeli army also carried out a bombing on Tell al-Shariqah, north of Khiam, and an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on farmers near the town of Deir Mimas, causing no injuries.

Israeli warplanes raided the town of Qantara, and at dawn targeted Wadi al-Salouqi near the town of Qabrikha.

In the Tyre district, Israeli artillery shelling targeted the towns of Mansouri and Majdal Zoun.

These attacks continue despite the “framework agreement” signed by Beirut and Tel Aviv with US mediation on June 26, 2016.
