Israeli forces have reportedly carried out artillery attacks using white phosphorus shells in the southern Lebanese city of Naqoura, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. The bombardment was accompanied by ground fighting between Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters inside the city. Local sources described the situation as increasingly tense, with the alleged use of phosphorus munitions raising potential international concern due to strict restrictions on such weapons.

In addition to the Naqoura assault, Israeli forces launched a second strike on the strategic Qasmiya Bridge in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera Arabic reported. The bridge is considered a key communication link in the region. Separately, Israeli aircraft also targeted the eastern Lebanese city of Majdal Salem.

No immediate details were available regarding casualties or damage from the attacks. Authorities indicated that further information would be provided as it becomes available.
