The Hezbollah UAV penetrated Israel's border, reaching 35 km inside before exploding near Afula. The IDF failed to intercept the projectiles, leading to a series of rocket alert sirens sounding in northern border communities such as HaGoshrim, Misgav Am, Kfar Giladi, Tel Hai, Kiryat Shmona and Metula. In response to the threat from Hezbollah UAVs and ongoing cross-border hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, the IDF responded with airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. This comes after an IDF soldier was injured by a stolen vehicle, highlighting ongoing security concerns for Israeli forces. Meanwhile, Sudan's army claimed they had killed a US-sanctioned RSF Darfur commander.
