Israeli jets carried out heavy airstrikes in Lebanon’s southern and eastern regions, reportedly targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. The attacks killed at least one person and shattered months of relative calm under a fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah

Hezbollah’s Naim Qassem has warned Lebanon’s government that any attempt to implement a US-backed disarmament plan could trigger civil war, though the group has temporarily paused planned street protests.

Rejecting proposals to integrate Hezbollah into the Lebanese military as a separate unit, similar to the model used by the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq, Aoun suggested that individual Hezbollah members could apply to join the Lebanese Armed Forces through official recruitment channels

She alleges that in 2014, she was kidnapped and tortured by the militant groups in connection to a $100 million development loan she received from the Trade Bank of Iraq. According to the suit, her wealth and influence made her a target for extortion and violence

The IDF stressed that it was responding to what it called a provocation by Hezbollah, which fired mortars at an Israeli army position in the Mount Dov area, a disputed region on the Israel-Lebanon border known internationally as Shebaa Farms

The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, stated that a US ceasefire proposal was awaiting Israel’s approval. The plan, spearheaded by US presidential adviser Amos Hochstein, has been described as a last-ditch effort to halt hostilities

This marked one of the deadliest days for Israeli civilians in recent months. Rockets struck areas near Metula, a town close to the Israel-Lebanon border, and the outskirts of Haifa, causing devastation in regions with active agricultural work

The strike, which took place on Friday evening, is being hailed as one of Israel’s most audacious military operations in recent years. Israeli defense officials revealed that they had tracked Nasrallah’s whereabouts for months, waiting for the opportune moment to act

Bomb disposal teams were deployed to mitigate risks posed by any unexploded ordnance. Medical teams reported that a few individuals sought assistance due to anxiety triggered by the rocket fire and the subsequent alarm

The blasts, which occurred throughout Lebanon, have added another layer of tension to the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, sparking concerns over both the group’s internal security and broader regional stability

In the past month alone, the number of displaced individuals has surged from 99,000 to 112,000, a trend that is expected to continue as the conflict spreads to new areas like the eastern Bekaa Valley and southern suburbs of Beirut

The sonic booms were heard just as Hezbollah was preparing for Nasrallah's address, which was set to commemorate one week since the killing of the group's top military commander, Fuad Shukr, in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs
