Overview
- Hezbollah said it attacked an Israeli force near Kfar Tebnit on Monday, using rockets and drones to block advancing tanks and an excavator and reporting ongoing clashes.
- The Israel Defense Forces said Hezbollah launched rockets, anti‑tank missiles and mortar rounds and that the IDF responded with precision airstrikes against fighters it said posed immediate threats.
- The UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL reported an overall drop in exchanges between midnight and 4 p.m. but still recorded 133 projectile trajectories and two airstrikes it attributed to the IDF.
- Lebanon’s NNA said an Israeli drone strike killed a driver in the area, the first reported deadly strike since the announcement of the US‑Iran understanding, and an AFP source said Lebanon was not told the deal’s terms or timing.
- Iran says Lebanon is part of the US‑Iran framework while Israel denies that claim, leaving the pact’s durability in doubt and worsening humanitarian and political strain after months of fighting that have caused thousands of deaths and mass displacement.
