Reuters carrying comments from a Pentagon spokesperson saying: "Despite some incidents, ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is holding," another significant test of the ceasefire agreement that was put in place last week. Comes as fighting around Aleppo threatens to reignite the Syrian civil war and draw regional powers - Iran, Turkey, and Russia - into a broader conflagration.
- Amichai Stein at Kan reports on X: "A short time ago, two missiles were fired at Mount Dov [in Israel] that landed in open areas - the first rockets launched from Lebanon after the ceasefire announcement."
- Barak Ravid at Axios reports on X: "IDF says Hezbollah fired two mortar shells towards IDF outposts on the border with Lebanon. It is the [first] Hezbollah attack since the ceasefire was announced last week."
- Roi Kais at Kan reports on X: "After the launches to Mount Dov, reports of a wave of Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon."
- Kais reported earlier: "Hezbollah announces that it attacked the Gladiola outpost "in the hills of the occupied Lebanese village of Shuba" in response to the repeated violations by the "Israeli enemy" of the cease-fire agreement and the cessation of hostilities ... and the continued violation of Lebanon's airspace by Israeli planes up to the capital Beirut, and the official powers to stop these violations failed, so Hezbollah fired a "warning shot".
