- On Easter Sunday, Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon killed at least 11 people, including seven in Kfarhata and four in Beirut's Jnah neighborhood, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
- Israel has conducted airstrikes and a ground invasion in southern Lebanon since March 2, when the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah entered the conflict, issuing evacuation orders for around 15% of Lebanese territory.
- On Saturday, the Israeli military warned it would target the Masnaa border crossing with Syria, prompting its closure; Israel claimed the site was used to "smuggle combat equipment," while Syrian official Mazen Aloush, borders and customs public relations director, insisted it was "exclusively for civilian use."
- The Lebanese Health Ministry reported 1,461 people killed since March, with one strike in Jnah landing about 100 meters from a public hospital, while more than one million people have been displaced.
- Amid ongoing hostilities, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reiterated a call for negotiations to spare the country from destruction on the scale seen in Gaza, while Israel pursues a "security zone" as deep as 30km into Lebanese territory.
