Occupation Escalates Southern Lebanon Onslaught: Bombardment Rocks Taybeh, Warplanes Strike Mansouri and Ali Taher

Israeli occupation forces have significantly intensified their military operations across southern Lebanon over the past hours, unleashing a series of aerial attacks that targeted multiple civilian-populated towns along the border, Al-Manar’s correspondent reported on today.

In the most recent wave of hostilities, occupation forces carried out a direct bombing operation targeting the town of Taybeh, unleashing heavy firepower on the area as part of an ongoing campaign of aggression against Lebanese border communities. The bombardment, which struck residential vicinities, marks a sharp escalation in the occupation’s military tactics amid already heightened tensions across the region.

Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes conducted low-altitude sorties over adjacent areas, dropping a stun grenade toward the town of Mansouri in an apparent move to sow panic among civilians and disrupt daily life. In a separate violation of Lebanese sovereignty, another enemy aircraft dropped an explosive device in the Ali al-Taher area, further compounding the volatile security situation along the frontier.

The attacks come as the occupation continues its systematic assault on southern Lebanon, combining aerial bombardments with psychological warfare tactics such as stun grenades, which have become increasingly frequent in recent weeks. Local residents reported loud explosions echoing across the border towns, with many families remaining on high alert amid fears of further strikes.

The Lebanese media outlet underscored that these violations constitute a blatant breach of Lebanese territorial integrity and international norms, emphasizing that the occupation’s relentless strikes aim to destabilize the region and pressure civilian populations ahead of anticipated political developments in the occupying entity.
