Israeli artillery is shelling the outskirts of al-Mansouri and Byout el-Saiyad in the south of the country, and extending to the al-Mansouri-Hamra coastline, Al Jazeera reports citing National News agency (NNA).

The shelling is reportedly originating from positions south of Tyre.

The medical teams were attempting to recover bodies and evacuate the wounded following an earlier raid, but were forced to withdraw under Israeli fire, NNA said.
