Since midnight, Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon have continued, with heavy artillery shelling, machine-gun fire, and tank movements reported across several areas.
Artillery Shelling: Targeted Wadi Zibqin, Wadi al-Slouqi, Mansouri, Al-Shmais–Kfar Shouba, Al-Arish–Hariss, Kfar Tebnit, and the outskirts of Baraachit.
Heavy Machine-Gun Fire: Reported in Serbin, Eastern Zawtar, Mansouri, Houla, Kfar Tebnit, the outskirts of Baraachit, and the eastern neighborhood of Kfar Shouba.
Most Dangerous Development: Israeli tanks were reportedly advancing in Kfar Shouba while simultaneously opening machine-gun fire toward the town’s eastern neighborhood.
Military Assessment: The expansion of fire from the western to the eastern sector reflects sustained Israeli military pressure across multiple fronts in southern Lebanon. The movement of tanks represents a significant development requiring close monitoring.
Southern Lebanon remains under repeated Israeli attacks, raising serious questions about the Lebanese state’s response and the effectiveness of international guarantees intended to protect Lebanon’s territory and sovereignty.
