Israeli forces intensified their campaign against Hezbollah, targeting the group's financial institution, al-Qard al-Hassan, in Beirut's southern suburbs and the Bekaa Valley. This escalation followed warnings from the Israeli military for civilians to evacuate these areas. Hezbollah responded with rocket barrages targeting northern Israeli cities, including Haifa. The Lebanese Army reported the death of three soldiers in an Israeli attack near Ain Ebel. Diplomatic efforts continued with news of US envoy Amos Hochstein's planned visit to Beirut, carrying proposed amendments to UN Resolution 1701. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri rejected any modifications to the resolution. The day's events marked a significant expansion of Israel's strategy, directly targeting Hezbollah's economic infrastructure for the first time in this conflict.
