Some of the injured were in mortal danger. Israel's air force attacked the Hermel region in the northwest, which is more than 100 kilometers from Israel near the border with Syria. The attacks also targeted the towns of Aitarun, Ainata and Tuffahta in the south of the country.

Israel's army announced that it was attacking Hezbollah "terror targets" in the south. According to security sources in Lebanon, there have been at least 30 Israeli attacks in the mountainous region in the south.

The Israeli military stated that it had attacked more than 150 targets in Lebanon with dozens of fighter jets since the morning. At the same time, Hezbollah had fired 150 shells at civilian locations in Israel, an Israeli military official said.
