Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon comes after over a week of intense air strikes targeting Hezbollah’s strongholds in the country. Southern Lebanon has been most affected, with strikes also targeting the eastern Bekaa Valley and in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Fighting continues in southern Lebanon. There, Hezbollah claimed to have attacked two Israeli tanks near the border village of Labbouneh. The World Health Organization has warned of a "very high" risk of cholera in Lebanon following the wave of mass displacement caused by Israel's nationwide airstrike campaign and southern ground offensive.
