The correspondents of Al Arabiya and Al Hadath reported that two Israeli airstrikes targeted the town of Mifdoun in southern Lebanon, while the Israeli army continues to carry out airstrikes, artillery shelling, and explosions in various areas of the south of the country.

The town of Shuqairah witnessed Israeli artillery shelling, and an Israeli force advanced to the outskirts of the town of Deir Mimas in the Marjeyoun district from the southern side, specifically towards the olive groves, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.

The municipality of Deir Mimas, in a statement, called for "not to head to the fields or olive orchards at this time, for security reasons," urging adherence to this until after Monday, with a new notification to be issued after this date, depending on the circumstances.

This morning, a low-flying drone was recorded in the skies over the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut.

The Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on the Rafiq Mountain in the heights of the Tuffah region in southern Lebanon, while the Israeli artillery shelled the towns of Al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun and Wadi Hassan at dawn and in the morning.

The Israeli forces carried out intense explosions in the towns of Barashit and Hadatha in the south after midnight.

In a related context, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced on Friday that the death toll from the Israeli war on Lebanon has risen to 4,386 dead and 12,413 injured.

The Emergency Operations Center of the Ministry of Public Health stated in a statement that this toll is cumulative since March 2 of last year.

The center indicated that the total death toll from the Israeli war on Lebanon since October 8, 2023, has reached 8,953 dead and 30,649 injured.

Israel has been waging war on Lebanon since March 2nd, following Hezbollah's launch of rockets at northern Israel, while Israeli forces occupied several towns in southern Lebanon.

A ceasefire was announced on June 20th, but Israel continued to carry out airstrikes on southern Lebanon.

The intensity of hostilities in Lebanon had decreased since late June, thanks to the Iranian-American memorandum of understanding and the framework agreement between the Lebanese and Israeli governments, yet Israel continued to carry out strikes and demolish homes.

The war in the Middle East extended to Lebanon since March 2nd, after Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel "in retaliation" for the killing of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei.
