Southern Lebanon Strikes: Israel carried out airstrikes and drone-related attacks across Nabatieh and nearby towns, killing at least four and wounding 20, while Lebanon said Ghandour Hospital was destroyed and government buildings were hit—sparking fresh calls from President Joseph Aoun for the U.S. and the international community to stop what he called a “dangerous escalation.” Evacuation Orders: The IDF ordered residents to leave parts of south Lebanon, including areas near Arab Salim, citing Hezbollah drone activity and warning civilians to evacuate ahead of strikes. Hezbollah-Drone Trigger: Reports say Hezbollah launched explosive drones toward Israeli forces in the “security zone,” one intercepted by the IDF, followed by a wave of strikes targeting areas around Kfar Rumman and Nabatieh. Regional Iran-U.S. Tensions: The U.S. denied Iran’s claim it struck an unmanned American vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran said it plans an “exclusion zone” and both sides trade accusations amid renewed maritime attacks. Arab League Condemnation: The Arab League condemned attacks on civilians and infrastructure in southern Lebanon, urging enforcement of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Local Life: A summer donkey race in southern Lebanon drew crowds with donkeys wearing bows, sunglasses and crocheted decorations.
