Southern Lebanon is experiencing the most intense wave of Israeli airstrikes since the start of the war, with Israeli warplanes launching a series of attacks across the region.

Israeli media reported that the Israeli army targeted Hezbollah positions located 32 kilometers deep inside Lebanon, with the Air Force conducting 100 airstrikes in a short period.

Key targets included the towns of Meiss El Jabal, Tefahta, and areas near Kharayeb and Aadloun.

Strikes also hit Jabal Rafi in Jabal Rihan and other towns like Tayr Harfa, Marwahine, and Sarira. The airstrikes were accompanied by heavy drone and reconnaissance flights over southern Lebanon.

Unions calling for strikes in France have announced the closure of the Eiffel Tower, one of the country's most famous tourist attractions, for the fourth consecutive day due to a strike by its employees. Since last Monday, two unions representing the employees working at the Eiffel Tower have declared the closure of the site to visitors due to a strike by its staff, protesting against the financial management of the iconic Parisian monument. The "General Confederation of Labour" and "Force Ouvrière" unions have appealed to the Paris City Council, the major shareholder in the company operating the tourist site (SETE), to be "fair in terms of their financial demands to ensure the continuity of the landmark and the company that manages it." The striking employees are demanding better financial management of the tourist site designed by Gustave Eiffel and built between 1887 and 1889. They are calling for "a sustainable plan for the financial and economic future of the tower," meaning fees that do not cut into salaries, which would allow for the updating of elevators and ongoing maintenance, or in other words, "keeping the Eiffel Tower alive," as one Eiffel Tower employee stated. The unions hope to renegotiate these fees. However, Deputy Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire defended that "the city supports the Eiffel Tower, it is its jewel," confirming that the City Council "has never failed in its supportive duty" to the company operating the Eiffel Tower. However, these statements did not calm the unions calling for the strike, and Sophie Binet, head of the General Confederation of Labour union, called for negotiations to begin in the coming hours. The Delegate Minister for Tourism, Olivia Grégoire, criticized the management of the Paris Mayor, describing it as disastrous for the city. She stated, "The management of the City of Paris is unfortunate, even disastrous," pointing to the delay in the renovation of the famous monument, a process that was supposed to have taken place seven years ago. This strike, occurring amid the current school holidays in the country, has implications for visits to the Eiffel Tower in the coming days. Tourists are most affected by this strike, as some come to spend a few days in Paris and allocate a day to visit the Eiffel Tower, so if it is closed, they feel significant disappointment and face a problem. Others believe that one can still see the grand structure "without needing to go up." The management of the company operating the Eiffel Tower announced yesterday that those who purchased tickets for the visit could get their money refunded. There are concerns about entering such strikes and closing this grand structure as France prepares to host the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in a few months. In 2023, the Eiffel Tower welcomed 6.318 million visitors, according to the operating company's figures, an 8% increase compared to 2022, which also saw about 5.9 million visitors.
