A clash occurred between residents of the southern town of Rmeish and a group affiliated with Hezbollah that was preparing to install a rocket launcher within the geographical area of the town, according to sources from the residents. The account states that an argument broke out between local youths and the group's members, during which one individual fired a shot into the air. Subsequently, the youths rang the church bells, and the party group retreated amid heightened tensions and gatherings of young people in the town.

The head of the Rmeish municipality, Milad Al-Alam, clarified the circumstances, confirming that members of the resistance attempted to launch attacks from within the town among the homes, prompting local youths to confront them, leading the attackers to move to the Pine Forest to carry out their launches from there, despite it being close to the town. The church bells rang as residents gathered to express their rejection of what happened.
He emphasized that "the residents allowed the resistance to launch from the town's outskirts but not from within the town and among the houses,” pointing out that around 7,000 people live in the town, asserting that "one cannot compromise the lives of these people." He noted that a military force arrived in the town after being contacted.
It was reported that three rockets were launched from the area, in addition to two rockets from "Pine Rmeish" near the Layali Al-Nujoom resort, while local youths tried to deter them with the army's assistance.
MP Samy Gemayel expressed solidarity through his account on X, stating: "All solidarity with our people in Rmeish."
