According to the military, fighter jets also attacked command centers and other "terrorist infrastructure" of the pro-Iranian Shiite militia during the night. Hezbollah weapons depots in the vicinity of the capital had also been bombed again beforehand. None of the claims could initially be independently verified.

Hezbollah in turn continued its bombardment of northern Israel. According to the Israeli military, around five rockets were initially fired at the port city of Haifa in the evening. Despite defensive fire, projectiles hit the area. The case is being investigated, it said. According to the Times of Israel, five people in Haifa were injured by shrapnel. Pictures showed damage to a street. This was followed by a further 15 rockets from Lebanon, some of which were intercepted, according to the military. Others fell. According to the Times of Israel, one person was injured in the city of Tiberias.
