The movement also announced that it had attacked the city of Kiryat Shmona, near the shared border between Lebanon and the occupied territories, with missiles for the second time.

Meanwhile, the Israeli home front reported that warning sirens sounded in 7 areas in the Upper Galilee following the detection of a drone infiltration from Lebanon. Israeli emergency services also announced that one person was injured by shrapnel following a missile attack on northern Israel.

On the other hand, the Israeli army repeated its warning to residents of areas south of the Zahrani River in Lebanon, urging them to evacuate their homes immediately.
