Overview
- Israel’s military chief said Wednesday there is no ceasefire in the south, telling troops in Taybeh that forces will hold their line inside Lebanon and act against threats even north of the Litani River.
- Residents faced fresh flight orders Tuesday as the Israeli army told people in at least 16 towns to move toward Sidon, with warnings sent by texts, automated calls, radio, leaflets, and online maps that residents say cause panic and confusion.
- Lebanon’s civil defence reported that three rescuers were killed Tuesday in a double-tap strike in Majdal Zoun, an attack Prime Minister Nawaf Salam called a war crime as Lebanon’s UN envoy accused Israel of violating sovereignty and undercutting mediation.
- The IDF said it killed Hezbollah operatives and uncovered a 900‑kilogram explosive device, rockets, and mortar shells in southern Lebanon, while rocket and drone launches from Lebanon into northern Israel continued, according to Israeli reports.
- Israeli officers quoted by Haaretz described a drive to systematically demolish buildings in Shia villages, with private contractors involved, as rights groups and UN voices warn that the US‑brokered pause is eroding and that displacement and civilian harm are mounting.
