Today, the Israeli army opened fire from its heavy machine guns on the outskirts of the town of al-Bustan from positions near the town of Aita al-Shaab. The areas of al-Jbeen, Um al-Tut, and the outskirts of Tayr Harfa in the western sector were targeted with artillery shelling. An Israeli drone attacked the Hamoul Valley - Naqoura. Israeli warplanes flew at very low altitudes over several areas, including Marjeyoun, and flew low over Khardali, breaking the sound barrier, while dropping thermal balloons to confuse ground air defenses. A correspondent from Al-Manar reported that the Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of the towns of Rashaya al-Fukhar, Kfar Hamam, and al-Mari in the Hasbaya district of southern Lebanon.
