Israeli forces intensified attacks in Lebanon’s southern Tyre district, injuring at least four people, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency. The agency said three drone strikes were first carried out on the town of Burj Shemali, followed by another strike from a warplane at the same location. The injured were taken to hospital.

Many residents left their homes and headed toward Tyre city after the attacks because of security concerns. NNA also reported that Israeli warplanes carried out three rounds of strikes on the town of al-Mansouri and open areas between al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun.

The agency said artillery and tank fire also targeted the area. Shelling continued from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning across al-Mansouri, Majdal Zoun and nearby valleys. By dawn, the scope of the attacks had extended to the outskirts of Haddatha. Israeli forces also fired machine guns toward the coastal al-Hamra area of Bayt al-Sayyad.
