The Emergency Operations Center at the Ministry of Public Health said an Israeli airstrike on the town of Adloun in the Sidon district killed four people and wounded one, while another strike on an apartment in the Mieh Mieh refugee camp killed two people and wounded four others. A separate strike on the Al-'Alam roundabout in the city of Tyre wounded 24 people. Another airstrike on the town of Habboush in the Nabatieh district killed three people and wounded 18 others.
An Israeli airstrike on a house located between the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiya and Zawtar al-Gharbiya shortly after midnight killed two people. In a separate attack, a house in Batouliyeh was struck, resulting in one death and one injury.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health added that two paramedics were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their motorcycle as they were heading to carry out a rescue mission in the city of Nabatieh, raising the number of paramedics killed since March 2 to 42.
For its part, Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli troop and vehicle gatherings with rocket barrages and attack drones, causing casualties among Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli military also confirmed that it carried out overnight airstrikes in Lebanon, targeting gas stations and a building it identified as a Hezbollah command center in the southern suburb of Beirut.
Hezbollah entered the confrontation on March 2 by launching rockets from southern Lebanon toward Israel for the first time since a ceasefire on Nov. 27, 2024, prompting Israel to carry out an intensified military campaign targeting multiple areas across the country.
