Israel struck a vehicle near Phoenicia University on the Zahrani–Tyre highway in southern Lebanon. Shortly following the attack, the Israeli army declared that it had targeted a Hezbollah member in the Saida district. The raids killed one civilian and injured eight others.
Earlier Monday, an Israeli drone dropped three sound bombs over the border town of Aita al-Shaab, heightening tensions among residents. The escalation followed a predawn incident in which Israeli troops infiltrated Aita al-Shaab, in the district of Nabatieh, where they reportedly rigged a house with explosives and demolished it before withdrawing.
Meanwhile, in the Bekaa governorate, Israeli aircraft were observed flying over large swathes of southern Lebanon and the Baalbek region.
The Israeli army issued an urgent warning on Monday afternoon to residents of southern Lebanon, urging those in the towns of Kfar Tabbine and Ain Qana to take precautionary measures ahead of anticipated airstrikes. Shortly afterwards, Israeli warplanes carried out strikes on what were described as specific targets in the area.
