On Friday evening, Israeli airstrikes continued to hit southern Lebanon, leaving at least thirteen dead. They also struck the facilities of the Nepalese battalion of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). The Lebanese Ministry of Health's Emergency Operations Center reported that an Israeli airstrike directly targeted a joint emergency point operated by the Islamic Health Authority and the Islamic Association of Scouts Risala, killing two rescuers and injuring five. In Nabatieh, six people, including a girl, were killed when Israeli fighter jets attacked a house in the city's Al-Rahibat neighborhood, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. Another Israeli airstrike on the southern border city of Bint Jbeil left three dead, and two more children died after an airstrike on a building in the coastal city of Ghazieh. According to the National News Agency, Israeli projectiles also fell within the Nepalese UNIFIL battalion's facilities in the southern Lebanese village of Mays al-Jabal. Nepal's honorary consulate in Beirut strongly condemned the attack in a statement, saying no Nepalese soldiers were injured, but emphasized that attacking UN peacekeeping positions constitutes a serious violation of international law and principles protecting UN personnel. Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it carried out several retaliatory operations against Israeli targets. In separate statements, the group said it launched a rocket barrage at Israeli soldiers and vehicles gathered in Wadi Hunin on the other side of the Lebanese border town of Markaba and the newly established military site Blat in southern Lebanon. The group also announced it rocketed a drone control base in Giv'a east of the Israeli city of Safed and Israeli soldiers gathered in the settlement of Metula for the third time that day.
