Israel strikes Lebanon, Hezbollah fires rocket

Israeli forces conducted a series of strikes and demolitions across southern Lebanon, resulting in multiple casualties. An Israeli drone strike on the Al-Jabour area west of Beqaa province killed one person and wounded two others. The Israeli army also demolished sections of the towns of Ayta al-Shaab, Houla, Rishaf, and Qantara. After Israeli forces withdrew from Al-Tayri village, a vehicle carrying journalists and residents on the road was attacked by an Israeli drone, destroying the car and killing its two occupants. Israeli artillery also shelled the village of Kounine. In response, Hezbollah fired a rocket toward the Israeli town of Metula, which triggered Israeli defense systems.
