On Saturday evening, Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike on the town of Aytaroun in southern Lebanon, described as "intense," with its effects felt in distant areas. The Israeli army stated in a comment, "Our fighter jets struck a military building where Hezbollah members were present in Aytaroun, southern Lebanon."

Initial reports indicated the deaths of two Hezbollah members in the airstrike on Aytaroun. It was confirmed that the deceased were from the towns of Aytaroun and Tabnin. Later, Hezbollah announced the martyrdom of Bilal Amin Murad, "Nasser," born in 1987 from the town of Aytaroun in southern Lebanon.

Israeli artillery fire targeted the outskirts of the town of Naqoura today. The Israeli artillery also shelled with several projectiles the "Pine Forest" area in the outskirts of Kfar Hamam, and it also bombed the forest near the town of Markaba. Additionally, the warplanes targeted a house near a UNIFIL site in the town of Adaisseh.

Several shells landed near the town of Rab Tlasin towards the town of Taybah, igniting a fire in the area. The outskirts of Zebbqin and Labouna experienced artillery shelling from Israeli positions in western Galilee, accompanied by reconnaissance aircraft flying over the western sector.

Israeli artillery shelled the vicinity of the Khiam detention center, which led to a fire in the location. The artillery strike on Khiam caused a fire, with black smoke rising from a diesel tank hit by a shell near the Khiam detention center. The fire intensified due to the shelling and spread to neighboring houses as residents called for civil defense assistance.

The bombardment targeted the town of Hula with phosphorus shells, while the Israeli army combed Wadi Hunin with artillery and machine gun fire towards the town of Kfar Kila.

In response, Hezbollah announced that it "targeted a Merkava tank during its movement at the Marj site with a guided missile, leading to its destruction and casualties among its crew." Hezbollah also declared that "in retaliation for the assassinations carried out by the Israeli enemy, especially in the Mansouri area a few days ago, an attack was launched on targets in the Zar'it barracks using guided missiles and artillery shells, achieving a direct hit and leading to their destruction."

Furthermore, the "Islamic Resistance" fighters targeted surveillance equipment at the Ruwaysat al-Alam site in the occupied Kfar Shuba Hills with appropriate weaponry, resulting in direct damage to them and a building used by the Israeli army in the Manara settlement.

Later, Hezbollah announced that "in response to the Israeli army's assaults on the steadfast southern villages and civilian homes, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted two buildings used by enemy soldiers in the Shitula settlement with suitable weapons, achieving direct hits."
