Hezbollah militants are fleeing southern Lebanon, offering limited resistance to the Israeli ground invasion. Fighters are said to have “left the area” without demonstrating “meaningful defensive operations”, according to the Institute of The Study of War, a major conflict think-tank.

Israeli media have reported an "unprecedented attack" by Lebanese drones. In the shelling in the Binyamina area, located in the center of the country, at least 67 people were injured. Four individuals are described as being in critical condition.
