Israeli forces have continued military operations across southern Lebanon, carrying out explosions, shelling, drone strikes and ground incursions despite the Lebanese army’s deployment to Zawtar al-Gharbiya earlier this week, Al Jazeera reports.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reports that the Israeli military has carried out a large explosion in the town of Tiyri in the Bint Jbeil district. It adds that Israeli forces, backed by bulldozers and military vehicles, have advanced into the nearby town of Serbine while firing heavy machine guns.
A paramedic source in Zawtar tells Al Jazeera that rescue teams have so far recovered three bodies from the town, while civilians continue waiting to return to their homes.
