Israeli forces conducted a daring naval raid on Batroun, northern Lebanon, abducting a Lebanese civil naval officer. This unprecedented action expanded the conflict beyond the southern border, prompting Prime Minister Mikati to file an urgent complaint with the UN Security Council. Hezbollah intensified its rocket attacks on Israeli military bases and settlements, while Israel continued airstrikes across Lebanon, including near Beirut and in the Bekaa Valley. Casualties mounted, with one death and multiple injuries reported from an Israeli strike on Galerie Semaan. The Israeli army claimed to have eliminated a Hezbollah rocket systems commander. Diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire remained stalled, with Netanyahu reportedly blocking negotiations. The conflict's economic impact on Lebanon became increasingly apparent, as the country struggled to commence its academic year amid the ongoing war.
