According to Israel's army, it has again registered intensive shelling from Lebanon. Around 180 shells were fired from the neighboring country towards Israel, the Israeli military announced. In the past few days, the army had sometimes counted even more shells. In the north of Israel, the sirens blared again several times. There were initially no reports of casualties or damage.

The Lebanese Hezbollah militia claimed responsibility for several attacks on positions in Israel.

Meanwhile, Israel's army continues to attack targets in Lebanon in order to weaken the Iranian-backed Shia organization Hezbollah and drive it away from the border.
