Early reports indicated ongoing efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon, with French and US diplomats involved. By midday, Yemen's Houthis claimed to have fired missiles at Israel and attacked US warships in the Red Sea. The situation escalated dramatically in the evening when Israel launched a major air strike on Beirut, targeting what it claimed was Hezbollah's main command center. Reports emerged of significant damage to buildings in the city's southern suburbs. Speculation arose about whether Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was targeted, though sources later claimed he was safe. Iran strongly condemned the Israeli attacks. Netanyahu warned that Israel could reach anywhere in Iran, signaling potential further escalation. The day ended with reports of renewed Israeli strikes on Beirut's suburbs.
