An Israeli army force carried out an incursion on the outskirts of Kfar Shuba town in southern Lebanon on Friday and surrounded a farm where several shepherds were present, as Israeli strikes, artillery shelling and gunfire targeted several areas in the south. The Israeli force raided the Sadana area on the outskirts of Kfar Shuba in Hasbaya district and surrounded a farm belonging to the family of Ghazi Nabaa, where several shepherds were present, Lebanon's National News Agency NNA reported. Israeli soldiers opened fire around the farm, while several artillery shells landed near the Sadana area, the agency added. In the Arqoub area of the same district, the outskirts of Hebbariyeh came under intermittent Israeli artillery shelling, accompanied by heavy machine-gun fire and movements of Israeli military vehicles in the area.

Israeli artillery also targeted Wadi al-Hujair overnight. In Tyre district, Israeli artillery shelling targeted the town of Majdal Zoun and nearby valleys overnight. Israel has launched attacks on Lebanon since March 2, killing at least 4,386 people, injuring 12,407 others and displacing more than 1 million, according to Lebanese authorities. The attacks have continued despite the two countries signing a US-brokered "framework formula" agreement on June 26 providing for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory in exchange for the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarmament of Hezbollah. Israel occupies areas in southern Lebanon, some for decades and others since the 2023-2024 war, while Israeli forces have advanced more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) during the current offensive. Israel also occupies Palestinian territories and land in Syria and refuses to withdraw from them or allow the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as stipulated in relevant UN resolutions.
