🚀 Pre-Ceasefire Rocket Fire: Hezbollah launched five rockets toward the Galilee Panhandle minutes before the ceasefire took effect, followed by additional barrages within the next hour. Israeli media reported a total of 25 missiles and three drones launched from Lebanon, most of which were intercepted, with one impact recorded in an open area.
🚑 Civilian Casualties in Northern Israel: Three individuals were injured during the attacks, according to Magen David Adom. In Karmiel, a 25-year-old motorcyclist and a 17-year-old girl sustained serious shrapnel wounds, while a man in his 40s in Nahariya was moderately injured.
🎯 IDF Strike Response and Operational Posture: The IDF targeted launchers used in the attacks, including those responsible for overnight fire, as part of a broader campaign across southern Lebanon. Over the past 24 hours, more than 380 Hezbollah targets were struck, including launch infrastructure, command sites, and operatives supporting ground forces.
🧭 Ceasefire Enforcement Measures in Southern Lebanon: The IDF issued an Arabic-language warning instructing civilians not to move south of the Litani River. Forces remain deployed in the area due to continued Hezbollah activity, indicating that implementation of the ceasefire remains conditional on security conditions.
🔧 Introduction of New Artillery Capabilities: The IDF Artillery Corps conducted its first operational use of the Ro’em (SIGMA 155) self-propelled howitzer. The system was used by the 282nd Regiment to strike Hezbollah rocket and anti-tank positions, and is intended to gradually replace older M109 platforms with improved range, rate of fire, and mobility.
🛡️ Judea and Samaria Counterterrorism Operations: Israeli forces carried out dozens of operations over the past week, resulting in more than 70 arrests linked to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Seized materials included firearms, improvised weapons, ammunition, and approximately 100,000 NIS transferred through charitable networks identified as supporting terrorist activity.
🪖 Force Expansion and Recruitment: A total of 460 new soldiers enlisted this week into designated tracks for the ultra-Orthodox population. This reflects continued efforts to expand manpower within specialized recruitment frameworks.
🌍 Regional and International Context: U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham stated that progress toward a Saudi-Israel normalization agreement depends on preventing attacks similar to October 7 and ensuring Hezbollah disarmament within any Lebanon framework. U.S. intelligence also reported that China had considered supplying advanced radar systems to Iran earlier in the conflict, though no confirmed transfer has been established.
🌐 Overseas Threat Activity and Disruption: During Operation “Roaring Lion,” Iran attempted attacks against Israelis abroad, including a near-successful incident involving individuals at a hotel in an undisclosed country. The situation was resolved without casualties after coordination between Israel’s National Security Council and local authorities.
