- Videos circulating on social media captured Israeli soldiers raising the flag in Maroun al-Ras village near the border.
- Hizbollah reported rocket attacks and confrontations with Israeli troops trying to advance southwards.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu urged the Lebanese population to stand against Hizbollah, warning of possible destruction.
- The fighting has mainly focused on the border area, while Israel’s air force continues strikes in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.
- Hizbollah retaliated by launching rockets into northern Israel, reaching as far as Haifa and even Tel Aviv.
- Israeli air raids expanded into Syria, with Damascus reporting civilian casualties in a targeted residential area.
- The recent bombings mark the second-largest wave of attacks after Israel ramped up its campaign late last month.
