Israel also carried out an airstrike on the west bank of the Jordan River, resulting in the deaths of the Tulkarm Brigade commander and four Islamic Jihad fighters. Additionally, following threats from Iran, the U.S. deployed the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt to protect Israel. The Pentagon announced additional measures to support Israel's defense.

According to Lebanon's Ministry of Health, a 17-year-old girl was killed and six civilians were wounded as a result of the Israeli strike. According to Axios, Iran could attack Israel as early as August 5.
