Overview
- Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut after the army told residents of seven southern-suburb neighborhoods to leave, with the military saying it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure.
- An Israeli spokesman said the military plans to bomb the Sohmor and Mashghara bridges over the Litani River, which rights groups warn would cut western Bekaa from the rest of the country.
- Lebanon’s water authority reported damage to key pumping sites and solar systems in the south, and local media said at least four people were killed in new attacks, including two leaving a mosque in Sahmar.
- UN peacekeepers reported three wounded in an explosion at a position near al-Adaissah, days after three others were killed, and the force urged all sides to keep combat away from its sites.
- Lebanon’s health ministry put the death toll at 1,345 with more than one million displaced, as Israel presses a ground push toward the Litani and the U.S. embassy warned that Iran-aligned groups may target universities.
