The IDF said its forces are continuing to operate according to a structured plan across multiple fronts, with the aim of deepening damage to the enemy's military capabilities.
On the Iranian front, the army said overnight strikes were carried out against military industries and sites producing cruise missiles in Tehran – weapons that Israel says are also transferred to Iran's regional proxies. Additionally, the IDF struck weapons production sites, missile manufacturing facilities, and air defense systems.
The IDF said the activity is proceeding in line with a defined operational plan, and that operations are ongoing in accordance with pre-set objectives, with an emphasis on striking military industries and degrading missile and rocket capabilities.
On the Lebanese front, the IDF outlined three main lines of effort: first, protecting northern communities and pushing back the direct rocket threat; second, the Litani River area, where civilian evacuation and weapons clearance are continuing; and third, broad activity across all of Lebanon, including in Beirut and the Dahieh district.

The IDF also said bridges were struck to prevent the transfer of weapons southward, alongside strikes on financial entities and infrastructure serving Hezbollah – including fuel stations and Iran-linked brokerage mechanisms.
The IDF added that the ground maneuver is expanding gradually. Army sources said results so far are positive and that no significant resistance has been encountered on the ground. During operations, several suspects were apprehended and provided with intelligence. It was also noted that any movement detected in evacuated areas is treated by forces as a potential threat.
The IDF said approximately 700 terrorists have been eliminated in the fighting so far. On Tuesday, an Israeli civilian was killed as a result of fire from Lebanese territory.
The IDF noted that the volume of Hezbollah's fire has remained similar in recent days, with the organization continuing to launch dozens of rockets and projectiles at communities and military bases in the north. Assessments put the rate at approximately 100 launches per day.
It was also reported that Hezbollah has worked in recent months to renew and reinforce its infrastructure – a buildup the security establishment had tracked in advance. "This is not the same Hezbollah as before," IDF sources said.
Regarding the Iranian front, army sources said that as part of ongoing situation assessments, the possibility of ending the fighting is being examined – but they stressed that for now, operations are continuing as planned. The IDF is operating at full available operational capacity, with efforts focused on striking military industries in order to limit Iran's ability to rebuild its capabilities over time.
According to the sources, approximately 70% of the targets designated at the start of the operation have been struck, and the operation is continuing as planned.
