Israeli forces hit multiple districts including Marjayoun, Tyre, Zahrani, Beirut’s southern suburbs, and Baalbek, with artillery, airstrikes, and drones, and issued new movement restrictions for southern Lebanese civilians.
The Israeli military cited immediate threats from Hezbollah rocket launchers and barred access to several southern border villages, intensifying security measures and raising fears of further escalation.
