💥 Strike in southern Lebanon and casualties: Reports from Lebanon indicate that several Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers were wounded in an Israeli strike in the Nabatieh area, with one later dying of injuries. The IDF confirmed awareness of the incident and is reviewing it, while stressing that its operations are directed at Hezbollah rather than Lebanese state forces or civilians.

Statements also underscored continued coordination with regional partners and a long-term objective of sustained pressure on Iran.
🌍 Regional and international alignment shifts: Gulf states are reportedly increasing support for sustained action against Iran following direct attacks on their infrastructure and maritime routes.
