The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed striking Hezbollah military sites near Bodai in the Baalbek District of northeastern Lebanon and near al-Ahmadiya in the south. The targets included rocket launchers and weapons stockpiles that "pose a direct threat to Israeli civilians," the military said in a statement.

Lebanese media reported Israeli fighter jets flying over Beirut during the funeral ceremony for Nasrallah and his successor Safieddine, causing panic among mourners. At least seven sites were hit in the Baalbek region, according to local reports.

"Hezbollah's continued military activities violate agreements between Israel and Lebanon," the IDF statement said, adding that it "remains committed to eliminating such threats."

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark message as Israeli jets flew over Beirut during Hassan Nasrallah's funeral:

"The Israeli Air Force planes currently flying over Beirut's skies above Hassan Nasrallah's funeral are sending a clear message: whoever threatens to destroy Israel and attacks Israel - this will be their end."
