Israel launched fresh airstrikes on Beirut, targeting southern suburbs, following reports of clashes with Hezbollah near Lebanon’s southern border. At least 2,000 people have been killed in nearly a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, with most deaths occurring in the past two weeks. Meanwhile, Gaza’s health ministry reported thousands killed and injured in Israeli attacks.
Iran’s supreme leader vowed Hezbollah and Hamas would re-emerge strongly with new leaders.

Israel conducted raids in the West Bank, resulting in numerous detentions, while funerals were held for victims of an Israeli airstrike in Tulkarm refugee camp.
US forces carried out airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, while the UK-chartered flights evacuated British nationals from Lebanon.
