In southern Lebanon, an airstrike on a house in the town of Mefdoun killed five family members, including two children, according to reports citing local authorities.

In the capital, Beirut, one person was killed and four others injured when a residential apartment in the Nabaa area of Bourj Hammoud was targeted, according to the Health Ministry.

Earlier attacks in southern Lebanon reportedly killed four people in an apartment in Haret Saida, while fighter jets struck a house in the town of Taybeh with no immediate casualties reported.
