Overview
- Israel’s military published video Tuesday that confirms a covert ground mission north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon.
- Golani Reconnaissance and Egoz units crossed the river and reached areas near Zawtar al-Sharqiyah about 10 kilometers inside Lebanon.
- Troops found tunnel routes, weapons stockpiles, and missile launchers in zones used for rocket and mortar fire on Israeli positions.
- Fighters engaged Hezbollah at close range, with the IDF reporting dozens killed, several Israeli soldiers wounded, and an Oketz canine killed.
- The Israeli Air Force hit more than 100 targets in support, and security officials said Namer armored vehicles crossed the river in a deliberate capability test that challenges the Litani’s role as a de facto boundary.
