“A massive explosion rocked the town of Mansouri in the Tyre district a short while ago. The explosion was carried out by Israeli occupation forces,” AFP reports, citing Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.

“The sound of the explosions was heard in the city of Tyre and several surrounding villages,” the NNA added.
