Overview
- The Israel Defense Forces warned residents of Anan and El-Manara to leave homes marked on published maps ahead of planned attacks on identified Hamas infrastructure.
- Israeli jets then hit a target in the Anan area, with aircraft approaching at low altitude from the sea, according to a RIA Novosti correspondent.
- A Lebanese field source reported an additional strike on a site in the border point of Manara shortly before the announced operations.
- One day earlier, a drone strike on a car near Safad al-Batikh killed two people, with a Lebanese ambulance source saying the intended target was a Hezbollah member.
- Israel says its Lebanon operations focus on Hezbollah military infrastructure to degrade leadership, while Lebanon’s Interior Ministry reports more than 4,500 Israeli attacks since early 2025 with over 390 dead and 680 wounded.
