The Israeli army blew up a school, burned homes and carried out airstrikes and artillery shelling across southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to the official Lebanese National News Agency.<\/p>\n
In Houla, in the Marjayoun district, Israeli forces planted explosives in a private school building and detonated them, destroying the structure, the agency reported.<\/p>\n
Troops also set fire to homes in the town, it said.<\/p>\n
Israeli artillery shelled Khiam and repeatedly targeted the towns of Tallouseh and Bani Hayyan, while warplanes carried out two strikes on Bani Hayyan, according to the agency.<\/p>\n
In the Nabatieh district, Israeli warplanes struck Kfar Tibnit in two waves.<\/p>\n
The outskirts of Mayfadoun and Zawtar al-Sharqiyah also came under “heavy and concentrated” artillery fire, the agency said.<\/p>\n
Israeli forces carried out large detonations in Aitaroun and Tallouseh, it added.<\/p>\n
In the Tyre district, Israeli artillery targeted Mansouri and Majdal Zoun, according to the agency.<\/p>\n
Earlier Saturday, Israeli forces carried out several massive detonations in Mansouri, sending white smoke rising around residential areas, the agency reported.<\/p>\n
The explosions caused tremors and loud blasts that were felt and heard in Tyre and surrounding villages, it said.<\/p>\n
The agency said Israeli forces had previously blown up most of the public school in Mansouri, leaving only a small section standing.<\/p>\n
On June 26, Lebanon and Israel signed a US-sponsored Framework Agreement in Washington providing for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the deployment of the Lebanese army to areas vacated by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n
Despite the agreement, Israel has continued to carry out attacks in southern Lebanon and maintains a military presence in parts of the south, including territory it has occupied for decades and other areas seized during more recent wars and military operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abdulsalam Fayez and Rania Abushamala 03 October 2026\u2022Update: 03 October 2026 The Israeli army blew up a school,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316765,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[32],"tags":[93,21312],"class_list":["post-316764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lebanon","tag-lebanon","tag-sitekeywords"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117378755006506734","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
