The Israeli military intensified its strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, particularly targeting the town of Nabi Chit, resulting in at least 41 deaths and numerous injuries. The conflict escalated with Hezbollah militants, leading to casualties among both Lebanese soldiers and civilians. Israel confirmed its operations aimed at Hezbollah targets, while also attempting to locate a missing pilot from 1986. Israeli Defence Minister warned Lebanon of severe consequences if Hezbollah is not disarmed. The UN urged both nations to negotiate to prevent further escalation.
