By afternoon, Israeli media reported 15 bodies found in tunnels, but pro-Hezbollah sources claimed only two killed. Simultaneously, Lebanon received four prisoners from Israel, a gesture tied to ongoing negotiations. The press also covered US-Iran tensions, with Iranian strikes on US bases in Jordan and threats over oil reserves. Domestic issues included fuel price hikes and the signing of a general amnesty law.
