What happened
The IDF says it crossed the Litani River in southern Lebanon for the first time since 1982 after a deception operation that misled Hezbollah. A senior officer said the maneuver enabled forces to reach the river unexpectedly, while engineers built bridges and opened routes. The army also said it is seeing some decline in Hezbollah drone attacks, but the group is still focusing on defending Nabatieh.
