Israeli military kills four in Lebanon
The Israeli military has killed at least four Lebanese citizens in southern Lebanon and Syria, the Wafa news agency reports.
The Lebanese citizens were killed in clashes with the Israeli military on the Israel-Lebanon border, and a bombing carried out by an Israeli drone on a vehicle on the Syrian side of the border with Lebanon.
The Israeli military has also shelled sites in the town of Mahmoudieh in the Jezzine region in southern Lebanon, with no casualties reported.
Hezbollah releases video exposing Israeli military sites
Hezbollah has released aerial video footage of what it says are Israeli military sites in the occupied Golan Heights. The drone footage appears to be part of efforts by the Lebanon-based armed group to show that it can reach sensitive Israeli sites.
Israeli fighter jets strike southern Lebanon
The Israeli military says its fighter jets struck several locations in southern Lebanon overnight, including the villages of Kafr Kila and Jennata. In a post on X, the Israeli military claimed the attacks targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, including a weapons warehouse.

Israeli jets strike central Lebanon
The Israeli military has carried out several air strikes inside Lebanon in the past few hours. In one attack, it says, it hit a Hezbollah site in Jennata, a village in central Lebanon. The Israeli army claims it was targeting a Hezbollah air defence system.
Attacks have mostly been confined to the southern region near the border. But this isn’t the first time the Israeli military has struck deep inside Lebanon.
Israeli military says it hit Syrian army targets in Golan Heights
Israeli tank and artillery have struck Syrian army targets in the occupied Golan Heights a day after an Israeli couple were killed by a Hezbollah rocket attack, the Israeli military says.
“The [Israeli military] sees the Syrian army as responsible for anything that happens in its territory and will not allow attempts to violate the demilitarisation deal,” the military said in a statement.
Fires again break out in southern Lebanon after Israeli shelling
Video posted by social media users – and verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency – shows large plumes of smoke rising from several locations around the south of Lebanon.
Large wildfires have broken out due to attacks on both sides of the border as Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah continue to exchange fire.
Earlier today, the Israeli army struck deep inside Lebanese territory, about 79km (49 miles) from the capital, Beirut, targeting what it said were Hezbollah air defence capabilities.

Hezbollah hits Israeli army position in Golan Heights
The group says in a statement that this attack was a response to Israel’s bombing of the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon last night. It said that the attack targeted Israeli artillery positions in Zaoura, in the Golan Heights, an area that Israel occupies in Syria, with “dozens of Katyusha rockets”.
Earlier, we reported on an Israeli army statement saying that it attacked Syrian army positions in the Golan Heights, some of which is still under Syrian control.
Hezbollah chief: ‘We will continue fighting until needed’
In a televised address Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the armed Lebanese group, says that Israel has achieved “no victory” victory in Gaza, and that the whole world realises that it cannot achieve defeat over Hamas, which is why calls for a ceasefire have grown.
In negotiations over a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Nasrallah said, “Hamas is negotiating on behalf of the whole axis of resistance – whatever it agrees to we will agree.” “They update us and like to hear our opinions” he continued. “We tell them to make the decision because we don’t want anyone to say our front is tired … we will continue fighting until needed.”
The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah has again said that his group will end hostilities against Israel as soon as a ceasefire has been achieved in Gaza.
- If there is agreement our front will halt fire unconditionally why? Because we are a support front and we have been clear from the start.
- If the Israelis decide to continue hostilities along the northern front – then we will defend south Lebanon, Lebanon and our people – and we will not allow any aggression against Lebanon if there is a ceasefire in Gaza.
- I doubt Israel will keep the front open in the north once there is ceasefire in Gaza.
- If [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu decides to continue war … he will take his entity [Israel] to its end.
