Israeli occupation troops continued to pound areas adjacent to the occupied border strip of south Lebanon on August 19.
Lebanese security sources reported that Israeli artillery batteries positioned in Teiba, Sala, and Abbad shelled the towns of Sawana, Majdal Shams, Tolin, Qabrikha, Salogi valley and al-Qesie in the central sector. About 30 shells fell on the areas.
