After the IDF issued evacuation orders for the entire northeastern Lebanese city of Baalbek and surrounding villages, media in Lebanon report strikes in the area.

The strikes come while Naim Qassem gives his first speech as chief of Hezbollah.

Separately, the IDF issues fresh evacuation orders for Nabatieh and several other villages in southern Lebanon ahead of airstrikes. The area had already received such orders several weeks ago.
