Footage shows a huge plume of smoke rising above al-Mansouri in Lebanon’s Tyre region, where Al Jazeera’s Obaida Hitto reports there have been recent Israeli air attacks.

Hitto says the smoke cloud is close to areas in which there has also been “intense fighting” between Israeli troops and Hezbollah forces.

“The fighting is ongoing. The strikes continue,” said Hitto from Tyre.
