On Monday, the Israeli military detonated a significant explosion in the Lebanese village of Mansouri, according to Lebanese state media and AFP. The massive blast occurred in the Tyre district, near the Israeli border. Lebanese state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that the sound of the explosions could be heard in the city of Tyre and several surrounding villages.
AFP correspondents witnessed large plumes of smoke emerging from the largely destroyed town following the loud explosion. The town of Mansouri, situated approximately nine kilometers south of Tyre and ten kilometers north of Israel, has been the target of multiple Israeli strikes and artillery shelling in recent weeks, even though a ceasefire was in effect since June.
A photograph from the southern Lebanese village of Hanniyeh captured smoke rising from the site of several Israeli-controlled explosions in the nearby village of al-Mansouri on September 28, 2026.
