No casualties were reported yet, and the extent of damage is still unknown.

Earlier today, Israeli Army Spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued an evacuation warning on X, announcing that the military would soon target Hezbollah-linked infrastructure across southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Israeli Merkava tanks and military vehicles were reportedly observed moving near Markaba and Adaisseh near the borders, Lebanese media outlets said.

An Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on Adaisseh as workers from Lebanon’s electricity company were passing through the area.

Despite a ceasefire that took effect on November 27, 2024, Israeli forces have continued operating south of the Litani River, maintaining routine air and ground activity in southern and eastern Lebanon.
