In the town of Shoukine, eight people were killed in an Israeli strike, among them two Syrian nationals, according to statements.

Another incident on the Zebdine–Nabatieh road in Nabatieh district led to the deaths of two people after a residential and commercial building was hit.

In a separate overnight raid that occurred "shortly after midnight between Thursday and Friday," two civilians were killed and several others injured. Among those wounded was Hussein Ali Ahmad, the mayor of Shoukin. The attack caused widespread destruction, leveling several homes and inflicting heavy damage across the surrounding neighborhood.
