The son of the former mayor of Al-Wazzani was killed in an Israeli drone strike this morning on the Jarmaq-Al-Aishiya road.

Before noon today, warplanes launched an airstrike on the town of Yahmar Al-Shaqif. Earlier in the morning, the town of Kounine in the Bint Jbeil district was also targeted by an airstrike. Additionally, Israeli artillery shelled Kounine and extended its bombardment to the town of Yater.

Shortly after midnight between Saturday and Sunday, the town of Arbasaleem was struck by an air raid. The area between the towns of Haboush and Deir Al-Zahrani experienced a similar airstrike. Israeli warplanes also attacked the Ali Al-Taher forest located on the outskirts of Upper Nabatieh.

At around 1 a.m., hostile warplanes conducted an airstrike on the town of Kafra in the Bint Jbeil district, coinciding with intense artillery shelling that affected the towns of Froun, Haddatha, Toulin, Safad Al-Bateekh, Al-Jmeimjeh, Aita Al-Jabal, and Hariss.

An Israeli airstrike hit a residential and commercial building on the Haboush-Nabatieh road.

During the night, an airstrike on the town of Al-Dweir destroyed a building and caused severe damage to a residential neighborhood, injuring 11 civilians with various wounds.

Meanwhile, a woman remains trapped under the rubble of her home in Al-Dweir, which was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes two days ago. Rescue efforts have been delayed due to the lack of a large excavator and ongoing Israeli threats to the town following the airstrike. Today, after receiving approval from the Mechanism Committee, a military patrol accompanied an excavator to the destroyed house. However, upon arrival, Israeli threats resumed against several southern towns, including Al-Dweir, leading to the suspension of debris removal and the search for the missing woman.
