Two rockets were launched at Kiryat Shmona from south Lebanon for the second time in less
than a week. One rocket was intercepted and the other fell in Lebanese territory. There were
no casualties. The IDF attacked Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon, including a building in the
Dahiyeh al-Janoubia in Beirut, for the first time since the ceasefire at the end of November
2024; five people were reported killed. Hezbollah denied involvement in the rocket fire. The
Lebanese army claimed suspects had been arrested.
IDF forces continued actions to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding its military arsenal and
against its presence in south Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire agreement, eliminating
terrorist field commanders and operatives. Hezbollah reiterated the claim that it was
committed to letting the government handle the “Israeli violations,” but warned it could lose
patience.
