• Tens of thousands gathered at Nasrallah’s tomb and across Hezbollah strongholds for anniversary events that included unauthorized projections on Beirut’s Raouche rocks.
• Naim Qassem told supporters the group will not surrender its weapons, directly rejecting a Lebanese government order tasking the army to start disarmament in the south.
• Israel’s Intelligence Directorate disclosed that years of collection pinpointed an Iranian-built bunker struck during Operation New Order with 83 bombs, killing Nasrallah and senior commanders.
• The 2024–25 war killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon and devastated the south, and Israel continues periodic strikes with forces still at several border points, according to AFP.
