NNA - The southern Lebanese town of Khiyam came under intense Israeli artillery and white phosphorus shelling, accompanied by sweeping operations launched from the Hamams Hill. Heavy gunfire was heard in surrounding villages.  

The town of Kfarkela was also targeted by artillery fire.  

Meanwhile, Israeli reconnaissance aircraft conducted heavy overflights across villages in the western and central sectors, reaching the outskirts of the city of Tyre.  

Amid heightened tensions and ongoing shelling, several residents refrained from using the road connecting Ghazieh, Frun, and the Qaaqaiyat bridge due to security concerns.
