Israeli military forces identified a terrorist cell approaching troops operating south of the newly established 'yellow line' in southern Lebanon, a forward defense line intended to prevent imminent threats to northern Israeli communities. The individuals were deemed to be violating ceasefire understandings and posing a direct danger to soldiers in the area.

In response, the Israeli Air Force carried out a strike that eliminated the suspected militants. The military also targeted an underground shaft south of the defense line and struck Hezbollah operatives who were seen entering the site, confirming a successful hit.

The military stated that its actions were conducted under directives from the political leadership and were consistent with ceasefire terms, emphasizing that measures taken in self-defense against immediate threats are permitted. Officials reiterated that operations would continue as necessary to protect Israeli civilians and deployed troops.
