An Israeli Defense Forces spokesman said the commander of the sector north of the Litani River, Khader al-Abd Bahaja, was recently killed in an airstrike in Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon. Under his leadership, the launch of unmanned aerial vehicles, the collection of intelligence and the use of drones to attack Israeli forces were carried out.
At the same time, about 20 missiles were launched from Lebanese territory, some of which were intercepted. As a result, a fire broke out between the Ein Afek nature reserve and Kiryat Bialik, but it is unclear whether this was caused by a falling missile or fragments of an interceptor missile.
Avichai Adrai in his post called on residents not to return to the south and not to go to olive plantations due to the danger of fighting. He also warned against Hezbollah's use of ambulances to transport fighters and weapons, and the Israeli army said that all necessary measures would be taken against any vehicle transporting terrorists.
