Israeli forces have escalated a wave of attacks across southern Lebanon, opening with airstrikes targeting Ali al-Taher, Kfar Rumman, and the corridor between Al-Qantara and Deir Siryan. The military assault intensified in Haddatha, Baraachit, and Bayout al-Siyad, marked by heavy artillery shelling, machine-gun fire, and deliberate demolitions that included blowing up a residential home in Haddatha. Israeli bombardment subsequently widened to encompass additional areas, bringing renewed shelling and gunfire to Mays al-Jabal alongside ongoing strikes in Ali al-Taher and Kfar Rumman. Israeli attacks on south Lebanon are ongoing.

Since dawn, Israeli forces have maintained a persistent wave of attacks across southern Lebanon, beginning with an explosion targeting Mays al-Jabal and repeated artillery shelling on the Ali al-Taher heights throughout the night and into the morning hours. As the morning progressed, Israeli attacks expanded to include ground maneuvers and heavy fire in border sectors. Israeli forces advanced toward the Shamis area on the outskirts of Kfar Shuba under the protection of two Merkava tanks to conduct search operations in woods previously burned by soldiers two days prior. Concurrently, machine-gun fire was directed at the outskirts of Shebaa, while intense artillery barrages struck between Dawhat Kfar Ruman and Dabsha Hill. The escalation continued as forces pushed inland toward Zawtar al-Gharbiya, positioning an earthen berm near the town square amid low-altitude Israeli drone flights, before the latest attack (artillery shelling) targeting Al-Mansouri. *images and video from frontline reporter samer haj ali

Since midnight, Israeli forces have maintained a non-stop onslaught of attacks across southern Lebanon beginning with airstrikes targeting the outskirts of Deir Siryan and Mansouri. The Israeli assault on Mansouri has intensified, with shells and machine-gun fire repeatedly targeting homes and open areas. Concurrently, Israeli forces engaged in engineering and demolition attacks, including leveling work by military bulldozers across the town's open areas. Further north and east, the bombardment expanded to other parts of south Lebanon; artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of Mayfadoun toward Zawtar al-Sharqiya, while machine-gun fire was directed at the town of Haddatha. In the vicinity of Birqet al-Naqqar on the outskirts of Shebaa, Israeli forces carried out leveling and digging work under the protection of two Merkava tanks, culminating in a controlled explosion in the area. The escalating destruction in Mansouri has severely impacted critical infrastructure, with Israeli forces blowing up the public water tank in the town's common area, cutting off the main water supply for local residents.

Israel has carried out at least 16 attacks since dawn that targeted vital civilian infrastructure and healthcare institutions in south Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley. The morning began with heavy artillery shelling that explicitly targeted the immediate perimeters of the Nabatieh Government Hospital and the Nabih Berri University Government Hospital, in south Lebanon. The attacks in the south then expanded into the Bekaa, where a drone strike targeted the plains between Hizzine and Taraya, followed by a series of heavy airstrikes on the Barghaz Valley. In Western Bekaa, Mashghara was hit repeatedly by Israeli drone strikes, accounting for six of today's attacks alone. Meanwhile, consecutive airstrikes targeted residential areas in Toura, Shoukin, Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, and Abbassiyeh. On the ground, the Lebanese Army successfully intervened to dismantle an unexploded Israeli munition dropped directly inside a critical water treatment station in Ibl al-Saqi. This operation led to them discovering an Israeli surveillance drone monitoring the Halta area of Hasbaya. This wave of Israeli aggression builds on yesterday's attacks, which reached the hundreds, including 15 massive airstrikes and a massacre that killed nine people in Tayr Debba. Since March 2, US-backed Israeli attacks have killed at least 3,666 people killed and more than 11,321 injured. There have been over 160 direct attacks on healthcare facilities and medical teams, which includes the complete destruction of more than 100 emergency vehicles.

Mahmoud Haidar, the owner of the renowned home in our southern Lebanese village of Arab Salim, in response to the Israeli airstrike that destroyed the home he spent countless years building: "God has graced and honored us to be followers of Imam Ali ... I am honored to say to my children and grandchildren that God has graced and honored me to have lived in the era of men—the men of God and their master. ​I am ashamed to even say that I sacrificed the earthly debris of this world in comparison to the apple of their eyes (their children)."
