Hezbollah and Israeli forces engaged in ground clashes inside Lebanon for the first time since Israel launched its offensive against the Iran-backed group. The Israeli military confirmed the deployment of infantry and armored units to Lebanon, escalating tensions in the volatile region.
An Israeli team commander was killed, and a Lebanese soldier was injured in an Israeli drone strike. Iran, which claimed its recent attack on Israel was in retaliation for the killing of militant leaders, warned of severe consequences if provoked further.
Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel continued its bombardment of Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut's southern suburbs. Nearly 1,900 people have been killed and over a million displaced in Lebanon due to the conflict. The international community, including the United Nations and the European Union, urged for immediate de-escalation.
