Israeli airstrikes intensified dramatically, targeting central Beirut for the first time. A health center in Bashoura was hit, killing seven rescuers. The southern suburbs (Dahieh) faced relentless bombardment throughout the day. Hezbollah responded with rocket attacks on Israeli cities and claimed to have thwarted Israeli ground advances. The Lebanese army reported its first soldier killed in the conflict. As the day progressed, Israel expanded its warnings to include 25 Lebanese towns, signaling potential further escalation. By evening, Israel announced it was targeting Hezbollah leader Hashem Safieddine in Dahieh. The conflict's toll on Lebanon continued to mount, with the health ministry reporting 37 martyrs and 151 injuries in the past 24 hours. International concerns grew, with the EU increasing aid to Lebanon by 30 million euros.
