A report by Jordanian state media, citing Lebanese security sources, also stated that no casualties had been reported in the attacks it covered.
IMPORTANT: The casualty figures published by Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health are cumulative and do not yet provide a confirmed 24-hour breakdown covering all of the attacks listed above. Casualty figures therefore should not be inferred from the scale of the bombardment alone.
Operational Picture
The attacks were concentrated primarily across the Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun and western-sector areas of southern Lebanon, involving multiple forms of fire rather than isolated airstrikes.
The reported operational pattern included:
Airstrikes
Artillery bombardment
Phosphorus munitions
Illumination flares
Heavy machine-gun fire
Large-scale detonations
Military vehicle movements
The attacks occurred despite the U.S.-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel, which includes arrangements concerning Israeli withdrawal and the deployment of the Lebanese Army.
