Israeli forces have imposed a siege on Bint Jbeil from four directions (Dibel-Ain Ebel-Rmeish, Saf al-Hawa, Yaroun, and Maroun al-Ras) but have failed to reach the city center, isolate resistance fighters, or control key landmarks including the market and stadium. Since Wednesday, intensified preparatory shelling using warplanes, artillery, phosphorus, and drones has been conducted to facilitate infantry advancement. Engineering and booby-trapping units have been deployed to buildings on the outskirts near the market.
