The day was dominated by a Hezbollah drone attack in southern Lebanon that seriously wounded three IDF soldiers, prompting an unusual English-language statement from the Prime Minister's Office on Shabbat accusing Hezbollah of using civilians as human shields. The IDF retaliated by striking Hezbollah's headquarters and killing a Radwan Force commander, while Lebanese sources reported 11 deaths. Concurrently, the Yahalomi affair continued to draw attention, with reports detailing the planned escape of Mili and Liel Yahalomi to Argentina and their questioning by police. Other stories included Trump's statements on the Strait of Hormuz and a new Saudi-led Sunni bloc.
