Israel carried out strikes on several parts of Lebanon overnight, resulting in casualties and continuing its heaviest bombardment of the country in nearly two decades. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that around 200 Hezbollah targets were struck in Lebanese territory, including infrastructure sites, weapons storage facilities, and observation posts in southern Lebanon.

The IDF stated that a municipality building in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah militants were operating and storing large quantities of weapons, was precisely struck. The IDF claimed to have killed 15 Hezbollah fighters in the operation. Lebanon's state-run NNA confirmed that two Ethiopian nationals were killed in Israeli strikes on the western coastal district of Tyre.
