Overview
- The Israeli military said it struck shafts used for weapons storage at several Hezbollah-linked locations in southern Lebanon, including in the Kfar Hatta area.
- Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported one person was killed when an Israeli strike hit a car in Bint Jbeil, which the IDF described as targeting a Hezbollah member.
- Lebanon’s National News Agency said more than 10 raids hit Kfar Hatta and caused significant damage after the Israeli military issued an evacuation warning.
- Israeli officials said the Kfar Hatta site housed underground weapons facilities despite a Lebanese Army inspection that found no military presence, citing video of secondary explosions after the strike.
- The strikes came days after the Lebanese Army announced completing a first phase to disarm areas south of the Litani River, a step Israeli officials called insufficient as low-intensity operations continue under the post-2024 ceasefire.
