Israeli forces expanded their strikes to Baalbek, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. The morning saw intense bombardments in southern Lebanon, with reports of casualties near Sidon. Hezbollah responded by targeting Israeli settlements and military bases. By afternoon, Israel issued evacuation calls for the Baalbek region, followed by airstrikes on the city. Netanyahu visited the northern border, emphasizing the need to push Hezbollah beyond the Litani River. Hezbollah unveiled a new underground missile facility, "Imad-5," demonstrating their continued military capabilities. The Lebanese government filed a complaint with the UN Security Council over Israel's naval raid in Batroun. As evening approached, Yemen's armed forces vowed to maintain their naval blockade on Israel until attacks on Gaza and Lebanon cease, potentially widening the conflict's scope.
