US Vice President J.D. Vance refused to use the term "war" to describe the ongoing conflict with Iran for six months, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to topple the Iranian regime and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stated that Iran would be returned to the Stone Age if it attacked Israel, amid a mutual military escalation that included Iranian attacks on Kuwait, American and Israeli responses, and an impact on shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that the Israeli raids targeted the towns of Ramadi, Mifdoun, and Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon and the town of Ain al-Tineh in the Western Bekaa, killing 5 people and wounding 23 others, including a Syrian worker, as rescue work continued and victims were recovered from under the rubble.

An Israeli minister warned against establishing Turkish military bases in Syria, stressing that Israel is committed to maintaining a position that rejects any permanent military presence of Turkey in Syrian territory, after air strikes targeted the Abu al-Duhur base in Idlib last August.
