The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported significant Israeli military activity over the weekend, including airstrikes near several villages, naval operations off Naqoura's coast, and drone flights reportedly by Hezbollah militants. UNIFIL patrols encountered movement restrictions, such as blocked roads by Israeli tanks and an incident of machine gun fire affecting a UN vehicle within a compound. The UN reiterated the need for guaranteed safety and security for peacekeepers at all times.
Lebanese authorities report that 13 people, including a child and four women, were killed and 32 injured in strikes in southern Lebanon. Over 124,000 individuals are currently displaced, sheltering in at least 625 schools and public buildings. Additional airstrikes followed displacement orders in 11 towns within Nabatieh, causing further population movements. Some residents attempting to return home found their houses destroyed or inaccessible and subsequently returned to shelters.
Health services in southern Lebanon face major challenges, with three hospitals and 41 primary healthcare centers not operational, while others function only partially. This puts considerable pressure on remaining facilities, impacting care quality and access to essential health services. Health officials warn of potential increases in complications, preventable deaths, and a wider healthcare crisis if gaps remain unaddressed.
In Gaza, displaced families remain in overcrowded tents and makeshift shelters amid debris and limited access to safe water and sanitation. UN relief officials state that aid teams are working urgently to assist Palestinians but stress the need for sustained humanitarian access, civilian protection, neutrality, and partnership to effectively support affected populations.
