Airstrikes are being conducted as deep as 31km into Lebanon.

An Israeli airstrike has targeted the town of Habbouch for the first time since the beginning of the war. It is nearly 40km from the border with Lebanon.

Geolocated footage and reliable reports indicate that Russian forces have made significant progress in and around the key Ukrainian fortress town of Vuhledar.

Firstly, a Russian motorised rifle unit advanced from positions west of Pavliivka, crossing the Kashalach river and seizing positions in a series of treelines southeast of Novoukrainka. This advance creates a second pincer around Vuhledar, and will allow the Russians to advance to the last supply route that leads to the town.

Secondly, Russian forces likely advanced from positions east of the O0532 road and captured the eastern residential area of Vuhledar. This puts them right outside the main part of the town and will allow for direct assaults into the high-rise buildings.

Russian forces also likely captured the Terykon (industrial waste heap) adjacent to the Pivdennodonbaska No. 1 coal mine. This gives the Russians fire control over the northwestern approaches to Vuhledar.

There are also reports that Ukrainian forces have begun withdrawing from Vuhledar across the fields in small groups.

All of these developments indicate that the fall of the town is imminent.

A Russian missile was launched at Kharkiv Oblast.

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at Safed, Northern Israel.

It disappeared from the radar.

Strong explosions are reported in the Safed area.

So far an estimated 300 Israeli airstrikes have been carried out on Southern Lebanon.

Russian forces have likely advanced north of Hostre and captured two 2km long treelines.

This advance - if true - would put them just ~1km from the eastern outskirts of Oleksandropil'. Additionally, as the Russians are advancing downhill, it simplifies their offensive operations.

— ❗️🇱🇧/🇮🇱 NEW: Death toll is now at least 100, with 400+ wounded, many critically

@Middle_East_Spectator

This is major. I believe that this is the highest death toll from Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon since the beginning of the war.

To those who haven't realized it yet, we've clearly entered the beginning stages of the Third Lebanon War.

At this point, Hezbollah is hoping for Israel to invade Lebanon; it's the only way Hezbollah will have a clear advantage.

Meanwhile airstrikes continue to be carried out on targets throughout southern Lebanon. Mass evacuations are currently taking place.

I genuinely believe that Israel might invade in the next couple of weeks.

The IDF has announced evacuation orders for the Beqaa valley in northeastern Lebanon. They are about to strike Hezbollah targets there.

Meanwhile the death toll from the airstrikes has reportedly doubled to 200 following the Italian hospital in the city of Tyre being hit by an airstrike. Another 700 have been wounded.

Key developments in The Middle East over the past 12 hours:

The death toll from Israel’s airstrikes on Lebanon has reached at least 492 with another 1,645 being wounded, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. This is already nearly half the total casualties from the entire 2006 Lebanon war.

So far the total number of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon has reportedly reached approximately 1,600. Airstrikes are still being carried out at this moment.

Israel conducted an airstrike on the suburbs of Beirut, targeting the Hezbollah commander, “Ali Karaki”. Hezbollah later released a statement saying that the assassination attempt was unsuccessful and that he has moved to a safe place.

Hezbollah launched a series of barrages of rockets at northern Israel. Sirens sounded in the city of Haifa for the first time since 2006, and direct impacts were recorded in the city.

The Ramat David airbase was also targeted by Hezbollah rockets, with NASA FIRMS data confirming a large fire there, likely from a direct impact.

A series of direct impacts by Hezbollah rockets were made in the occupied West Bank, hitting Israeli settlements and an Israeli military outpost.

Israel has once again closed their airspace from Haifa to the border with Lebanon, this time until the end of September.

Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian stated that 'The assassination of Ismael Haniyeh (former Hamas leader) will definitely not go unanswered'

Meanwhile in Ukraine, yet another Russian Geran attack is underway.

~9 Geran drones were launched from Crimea in two waves. The first wave consisting of ~5 drones flew through Kherson, Mykolaiv and Kirovohrad Oblasts before reaching the city of Kremenchuk. The second lot (~4) are flying on the same path as the first ones.

Meanwhile, ~14 Gerans were launched from Kursk Oblast, also in two waves. The first wave consisting of ~5 drones split up quite early on, with 2 flying to Cherkasy, and the rest flying to Myrhorod, Poltava Oblast. The second wave consisting of ~9 drones flew through Sumy and Chernihiv Oblasts and are now targeting Kyiv Oblast. Most of these will likely be shot down, but a couple will probably fly until the morning in Ukraine.
