Update on the situation in southern Lebanon:

Over the last few weeks, the IDF has continued their advance, capturing new parts of southern Lebanon, especially towards the key Hezbollah stronghold of Nabatieh.

On the western sector, Israeli forces captured most of the town of Majdal Zoun, located north of the Yellow Line, and expanded their zone of control south of the Yellow Line in the forested hills there.

In the central sector, Israeli forces improved their positions in Haddatha, captured the town of Beit Yahoun, and are raiding nearby areas surrounding Aaita El Jabal. They also cleared a section of the international border north of Blida and improved their positions west of Meiss El Jabal.

In the eastern sector, the IDF improved their positions in western and northeastern Zawtar El Charqieyh and gained a foothold in the southern part of Maifadoun, advancing towards Nabatieh from the south. They also began an offensive towards towards Nabatieh from the southeast, captured the rest of Arnoun, parts of Mazraat El Hamra and Kfar Tebnit, and carried out multiple unsuccessful attacks on the strategic Ali al-Taher Hill. In Khiam, new parts of the western, northern, and northeastern streets were cleared.

Israeli forces are carrying out mass demolitions in most newly captured areas and are constructing military outposts.

Hezbollah is responding by launching rockets, tactical ballistic missiles, drones of various types, mortars, and ATGMs at Israeli forces, killing several Israeli soldiers and wounding dozens of others. They also continued to engage in ground clashes with light and medium weapons with advancing Israeli forces.
