The Arab-Islamic summit in Riyadh opened with Saudi Crown Prince demanding immediate ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon. Prime Minister Mikati emphasized Lebanon's commitment to Resolution 1701, while seeking regional support.
By midday, Hezbollah launched what it called its "heaviest attack" on northern Israel since the conflict began, targeting Haifa's Zvulun military base and Karmiel. Israeli forces responded with strikes deeper into Lebanese territory than previously seen, hitting targets in Nabatieh and, significantly, in Akkar's Ain Yacoub, causing at least 28 casualties.
Evening brought conflicting signals: Israeli Defense Minister Katz rejected any possibility of a ceasefire, while Israeli media reported "certain progress" in negotiations. The day ended with the Arab-Islamic summit's final statement calling for immediate ceasefire and full implementation of Resolution 1701, even as both sides expanded their military operations.
