- Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported at least one person killed and several wounded, with damage documented in towns including Tayr Debba, Taybeh, Aita al Jabal, Zawtar al‑Sharqiyah and Kfar Dounin.
- Israeli officials said the strikes targeted Hezbollah military infrastructure and weapons depots placed inside populated areas, vowing to prevent the group from rearming.
