Cross border incidents continued along the Israel Lebanon frontier. Israeli drones operated over southern and eastern Lebanon and carried out strikes on Sept 29, including a reported hit on an excavator near Sohmor in the Bekaa that killed the driver.

Analysts counted several dozen airframes and associated launchers and warned of a clear risk of expanded RSF strike capacity across Darfur.
