The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced in its daily report on Sunday that the toll from the Israeli aggression on Lebanon has risen to 2,986 martyrs and 13,402 wounded. These figures are non-final as the aggression continues unabated.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported on Sunday evening that Israeli warplanes conducted a drone strike on Marj Harouf and Arab Salim in the Nabatieh district. Additionally, airstrikes were carried out targeting the city of Nabatieh as well.
Prior to that, an Israeli drone executed a guided missile strike targeting a car near a Lebanese army checkpoint in the town of Bait Yahoun, in the Bint Jbeil district. A drone also targeted a house in the town of Shaqra within the same district.
Israeli aggression continues across South Lebanon

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported that five martyrs, including two children, were recovered from under the targeted building in the Wata al-Khiam area. Efforts to clear the rubble, which requires heavy machinery, are still ongoing.
The Lebanese Red Cross plans to pursue to recover the remaining bodies from Wata al-Khiam tomorrow. This operation is complicated by difficult weather conditions and the need for heavy equipment, as there are still 16 bodies trapped under the rubble.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that upon arriving in the Wata al-Khiam area, it became evident that "there were no longer any Israeli soldiers present there."
