After the Israeli counter-attack on Iran, the shelling between Israel's military and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia continues. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, a paramedic was killed in a suspected Israeli airstrike on a health center in the south of the country. Five other people were injured.

Meanwhile, Israel's army reported that the Shiite organization had fired around 80 shells from Lebanon into Israeli territory by the afternoon. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for several attacks.

According to Israel's military, it also intercepted several drones from the northern neighboring country. The Israeli air force also attacked Hezbollah targets in Lebanon again, including in the southern suburbs of Beirut. The Hezbollah positions were also located under civilian buildings in densely populated areas.

According to the report, the Israeli forces took numerous measures to reduce the risk of civilians coming to harm. This information could not initially be independently verified either.
