- The Israeli military targeted areas near Hezbollah facilities, claiming to respond to threats such as explosive drones, despite a recent US-brokered framework agreement aimed at easing tensions.
- Attacks have persisted even after the June agreement intended to create "pilot zones" for disarming Hezbollah and Israeli withdrawal, but progress has stalled amid ongoing occupation of villages and refusal to withdraw further.
- Civilians in southern Lebanon are experiencing heightened fear and uncertainty as they attempt to rebuild, with recent waves of Israeli strikes destroying homes and killing non-combatants.
- Since March, Israeli strikes have killed over 4,350 people and wounded more than 12,300 in Lebanon, including 135 healthcare workers killed in attacks on ambulance crews, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
