A new development unfolded today in Lebanon alongside the ongoing attacks on southern regions, as Israeli aircraft carried out an airstrike targeting the Wadi Fa'ara area near the city of Hermel, hitting a small truck in the vicinity of the Ras Baalbek plain. These airstrikes mark the first strikes targeting the Hermel area in the Bekaa Valley and the deepest into Lebanese territory since the onset of the clashes on the southern front. The Israeli army also launched raids on targets in Baalbek in response to the targeting of an air surveillance unit in Maroun. Israeli aircraft also raided the Budai plain in the vicinity of "Tallet Wardine" near the city of Baalbek.

Additionally, Hezbollah targeted Israeli army positions. Against the backdrop of escalating confrontations in the south, a clash occurred between residents of the town of Rmeish and Hezbollah elements. According to circulating information, a group affiliated with the party was preparing to install a rocket launcher near Rmeish Secondary School in Karm Zeitoun, leading to a dispute.

In a separate context, Deputy Michel el-Murr attended an iftar dinner held in his honor by the Amhaz family. He stated, "Our Lebanon is one, so it is our duty to protect and build it together hand in hand."

Regionally, on the 172nd day of the war on Gaza, dozens of martyrs fell in shelling around the Shifa complex and Rafah.

Regarding the negotiations file, conflicting reports emerged about its progress. While Israeli media outlets reported the departure of the negotiating delegation from Qatar to Israel, Haaretz newspaper stated that the deal was not concluded, and part of the delegation remained in Doha for hostage release talks.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to continue the Israeli attack and criticized the United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire, saying it encouraged Hamas to reject a separate proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said protecting Palestinian civilians from harm is both a moral and strategic imperative, describing the situation in Gaza as a "humanitarian catastrophe."

In Russia, the head of the Russian Federal Security Service said Western and Ukrainian intelligence agencies assisted the perpetrators of the attack on a music hall in Moscow.
