Four people were injured, including one in serious condition, while additional civilians were treated for anxiety, and search teams continue operating under complex conditions to locate three missing individuals believed trapped under the rubble.
❗️ HEZBOLLAH DRONE ACTIVITY IN THE WESTERN GALILEE:
A Hezbollah drone struck a home in Shomrat, causing localized damage and prompting a firefighting response.
A second drone launched from Lebanon was intercepted by the IDF, and no injuries were reported in the incident.

The strike caused minor damage to a factory from blast effects, with no casualties or hazardous material leaks reported, while another missile toward southern Israel was likely intercepted.
⚠️ ISRAELI RESPONSE AND STRIKE CONTEXT ON IRAN: Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that continued Iranian missile fire will trigger sustained damage to Iran’s national infrastructure.
He confirmed recent Israeli strikes on petrochemical facilities tied to missile production and noted U.S.-Israel coordination, including support during a U.S. aircrew rescue operation following a downed fighter jet.
🪖 IDF OPERATIONS AND STRATEGY IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir stated that Israeli forces will maintain a forward defensive presence in southern Lebanon until threats to northern communities are removed.
Operations focus on dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure, holding territory south of the Litani River, and systematically targeting operatives, with over 1,000 Hezbollah fighters reported eliminated and continued strikes planned across Lebanon.
⚠️ ADJUSTMENT TO CIVIL DEFENSE ALERT TIMES IN EILAT: The IDF Home Front Command is extending missile warning times from 30 to 90 seconds in Eilat and surrounding areas.
The change reflects operational lessons from recent missile and drone activity and is intended to improve civilian response time.
