An Israeli raid on al-Majadel, east of the caza of Tyre, shattered the precarious calm that prevailed early on Tuesday morning in southern Lebanon. The strike wounded three people, according to the Emergency Operations Center linked of the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

Another raid on the town of Chihine also wounded a civilian.

An Israeli drone carried out a strike on the eastern outskirts of Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa, but the missile did not explode.

At dawn, the Israeli army opened fire with heavy machine guns on the locality of Aita al-Shaab in the central sector, causing significant material damage.

On Monday night, Israeli reconnaissance and drone flights continued into the morning, overflying villages in the western and central sectors of the Tyre and Bint Jbeil caza.

Flares were also fired over border villages adjacent to the Blue Line, while artillery fire targeted the outskirts of Dhayra, Ramya and Aita al-Shaab.
