And the war is spreading: the IDF has entered southern Lebanon by land, conquering several nearby points as part of a plan to strengthen the front's defenses.

8:30 a.m. – The IDF enters Lebanon

The IDF entered southern Lebanon by land, capturing several nearby positions as part of a plan to strengthen the front's defenses. A spokesperson for the army reported this. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the IDF advance into southern Lebanon is not a ground operation and is intended to prevent "direct fire" on Israeli communities. "To prevent the possibility of direct attacks against Israeli communities, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have authorized the IDF to advance and maintain additional dominant territory in Lebanon and to defend border communities from there," he said. "The IDF continues to operate against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The terrorist organization is paying and will pay a high price for its fire against Israel," he added.

8:00 AM – Damage to Iran's Natanz nuclear facility

Images captured by the intelligence firm Vantor over the past 48 hours reveal damage to the Natanz nuclear facility, one of Iran's most sensitive military installations and its largest uranium enrichment center. According to CNN's analysis of the images, a large warehouse and two smaller two-story buildings were hit. The structures were access points for workers and vehicles to Natanz's underground facilities, according to the Institute for Science and International Stability, which monitors Iran's nuclear program . The damage to the facility appears to be relatively minor compared to two US attacks on the same facility in June 2025, when US forces struck the site with bunker-busting munitions and cruise missiles.
