- Early Monday, the Israel Defense Forces ordered residents of Deir Zahrani, Lebanon, to evacuate ahead of strikes against what it termed a "Hezbollah terrorist facility." Al-Manar television later reported Israeli airstrikes on the town.
- Israeli forces continue operating within a self-declared "security zone" around 10km deep inside Lebanon along the border. The conflict, which began in March, has resulted in more than 4,300 deaths, according to Beirut.

- Tehran plans to announce an "exclusion zone" outside the Strait of Hormuz, according to Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. The zone aims to place identified vessels attempting transit on a sanctions list.
