- In response, the IDF said it carried out airstrikes on Hezbollah sites in several areas of southern Lebanon, including launch positions for drones and anti-tank missiles, while insisting it still abides by the Israel-Lebanon arrangement.
- JNS reported that one of the targets was a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the Sejoud area, which the army said held arms used against soldiers in the zone.

- Lebanon's National News Agency, cited by Naharnet, listed strikes on Nabatieh al-Fawqa, the outskirts of Kfartebnit and Maifadoun, where it said a house was destroyed, plus artillery and machine-gun fire on several other localities.
- The exchange came as Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon and Iraq marked two years since Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike, with a Hezbollah-aligned editor writing that revenge remains a duty, even for a later generation.

Where coverage differs
- Israeli and Jewish outlets such as JNS and Israel National News led with the IDF's response and the type of target hit, while the Lebanese-based Naharnet framed the same events as Israeli claims and added the Lebanese agency's account of damaged villages.
- Center, internationally oriented coverage from Reuters and US News foregrounded a different angle entirely, reporting Hezbollah's pledge to help house thousands of displaced Lebanese rather than the overnight fighting.
