Overview
- Israel said multiple drones or projectiles launched from Lebanon entered or struck northern Israel on Sunday and the military retaliated with airstrikes on Dahiyeh, a Beirut district identified with Hezbollah.
- The IDF also issued forced displacement orders for around two dozen towns in southern Lebanon and carried out strikes across southern Lebanese positions in response to the cross-border attacks.
- Far-right Israeli ministers publicly urged heavier bombardment of Beirut and the demolition of buildings in Dahiyeh, increasing pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to expand operations.
- Hezbollah and allied outlets reported local clashes in southern Lebanon, claiming attacks on Israeli troop concentrations and vehicles as ground skirmishes continued near Nabatieh and Tyre.
- The new exchanges come as mediators report progress toward a U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, and analysts warn the flare-up risks undermining or delaying that diplomatic track while worsening Lebanon’s large civilian toll.
