Israeli forces conducted airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and responded to a ceasefire violation in Gaza. Armed Palestinians emerged from a building near the Israeli-controlled Yellow Line in northern Gaza, entering Israeli territory via tunnels before being killed by IDF fire. The incident occurred in Beit Hanoun, approximately two kilometers from the line.

IDF observation troops intercepted a drone smuggling three M-16 rifles into Israel on Friday. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir visited troops in Rafah, emphasizing the destruction of Hamas tunnel infrastructure and stating there would be 'no immunity for terrorism' anywhere. Zamir reiterated the commitment to full demilitarization of Gaza and disarmament of Hamas, prepared to transition from defense to offense if necessary.
