Overview

• Israeli forces targeted underground drone production sites in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood after issuing evacuation warnings through spokesman Avichay Adraee.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the operation as a flagrant violation of the ceasefire and have appealed for international intervention.
• News agencies reported nearly a dozen strikes, including two described as very violent, which caused mass panic and road congestion on the eve of Eid al-Adha.
• Hezbollah officials denied any drone factories at the targeted locations and Israel alleged the group is increasing UAV production with Iranian guidance and funding.
• Since the truce, the Lebanese army has dismantled over 500 Hezbollah military posts in the south but tensions have remained high with continued Israeli strikes.
