The strikes targeted Hezbollah strongholds, with significant casualties reported in Baalbek-Hermel and the southern city of Tyre. Among the dead were several first responders involved in rescue operations. The Israeli military confirmed the strikes aimed at Hezbollah positions and weapon storage facilities.
