Telegram posts from ME Observer, reproducing a page attributed to the late journalist Ali Shaib, and two videos show illumination flares over Al-Qantara town in south Lebanon. One post says forces it calls enemy forces dropped illuminating bombs, while the videos do not say who fired them. Al Manar, via a crowd-report channel relaying Ali Shoaib, reported an explosion near Qantara at 15:57 UTC and tank shelling near Qantara at 20:07 UTC.
