On Friday, Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters resumed hostilities, a day after the announcement of a three-week ceasefire extension between Israel and Lebanon. The Israel Defence Forces conducted airstrikes targeting Hezbollah rocket launchers in the southern Lebanese towns of Yater and Kafra, claiming they posed a threat to Israeli troops and civilians. These strikes resulted in at least six fatalities and two injuries, as reported by the Lebanese Ministry of Health. In response, Hezbollah claimed to have attacked an Israeli armored personnel carrier in Ramyah, citing retaliation for Israel's destruction of homes in southern Lebanon, which they deemed a violation of the ceasefire.
