Lebanese authorities said more than one million people had registered as displaced, Al Jazeera reported, as Israel announced limited ground operations in southern Lebanon and ordered residents of Arab al-Jal to leave. Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops in at least three border towns. German chancellor Friedrich Merz called the Israeli ground offensive an error that would worsen the humanitarian situation, and Israeli defence minister Katz said displaced Lebanese would not be allowed home until northern Israel was safe.
