Amman, Sept. 8 (Petra) -- Israeli warplanes renewed airstrikes on the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon on Tuesday evening, coinciding with heavy artillery shelling that targeted the town alongside Dawkhat Kfar Remman in the Nabatieh district and Al-Mansouri in the Tyre district.

A security source said Israeli artillery shelling also targeted the Salouqi and Hjoula valleys, while Israeli forces opened fire with heavy machine guns toward woodland areas adjacent to the town of Qabrikha. An Israeli tank additionally shelled residential homes on the western outskirts of the town of Meiss al-Jabal.

The source added that Israeli forces conducted controlled detonations in the town of Al-Mansouri, south of Tyre, and shelled the Ali al-Taher hills using incendiary white phosphorus munitions.
