On the ground developments, the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli warplanes launched strikes targeting and destroying a building in the Al-Deir neighborhood in the Upper Nabatieh area, as well as another strike on the outskirts of the town of Tel al-Dibshiye in southern Lebanon.
