'Israeli' artillery units unleashed heavy barrages of incendiary white phosphorus shells directly targeting the southern Lebanese towns of Al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun on Sunday afternoon.

According to an emergency field report from a Roya TV correspondent on the ground, the specialized chemical munitions struck the agricultural outskirts and residential perimeters of both municipalities, generating dense screens of toxic smoke.

Civil defense units and local medical teams were immediately dispatched to the targeted zones to assist civilians suffering from severe smoke inhalation.

Environmental crews scrambled to contain localized fires ignited by the highly flammable phosphorus fragments.

This is a developing story.
