At 8:00 PM, tensions remain high across multiple fronts as Israel continues to confront a complex, multi-layered conflict involving Iran and its proxies across seven regions, including Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Israel reports ongoing military operations aimed at neutralizing threats from these fronts, with recent strikes targeting terrorist infrastructure and weapon storage sites. In Lebanon, Israeli forces conducted precise airstrikes on underground sites used for drone and missile production, attributed to Hezbollah, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to maintain calm.
In Gaza, Israel remains engaged in defensive and offensive operations as it seeks to thwart ongoing rocket attacks and dismantle militant tunnels. Meanwhile, in Syria and Iraq, Israeli military activities target Iranian-backed militias, with reports of airstrikes hitting weapon depots and command centers believed to be involved in facilitating attacks on Israeli territory.
