Israeli Occupation Army Carries Out Violent Bombings and Shells Areas in Southern Lebanon

Beirut, October 4 (KUNA) -- The Israeli occupation army carried out a series of explosions in southern Lebanon on Sunday, alongside shelling of several villages there. The Lebanese National News Agency reported that occupation forces carried out a major explosion in the Wadi Hassan area in the western sector, near the outskirts of Majdal Zoun, another in Wadi Zebqine, and a third near the outskirts of B’arshit. The agency noted that the town of Kounine was subjected to intermittent artillery fire, while the Israeli occupation army burned additional homes in the eastern town of Zoutor. The outskirts of Mefdoun came under heavy artillery fire, and the outskirts of the towns of Haris and Haddatha were also targeted, while warplanes conducted two raids on the town of Mansouriya. It is worth noting that Israeli occupation forces, which are stationed in dozens of southern villages and towns, continue to carry out systematic explosions of properties at a near-daily pace, alongside ongoing air raids and artillery shelling. Lebanese Environment Minister Tamara Jomaa had previously pointed out that “the massive underground explosions carried out by the Israeli occupation army in the south could, under certain geological conditions, particularly when occurring near existing faults, trigger or reactivate these faults, thereby increasing the risks of seismic activity.” (End) A.Y.B. / H.S.S.
