A cold front has swept into Wuxi County of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, a city built on hills, bringing a sharp temperature drop and snowfall since Friday.

High-altitude areas of the county, including Tianyuan Town and the Hongchiba scenic area, were shrouded in snow on Saturday morning, with the outlines of mountain ridges fading behind the veil of snow.

According to the local meteorological authority, areas above 1,200 meters in Wuxi County experienced snowfall starting Friday night, with sleet or light snow continuing in high-altitude zones into Saturday night.

It also reported that cloudy weather will persist across most of Wuxi in the coming days.

Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said on Wednesday that the death toll from Israeli attacks in the country since March 2 has risen to 1,318.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday that it killed over 40 Hezbollah militants in air, sea and ground strikes in southern Lebanon over the past day.

The IDF also struck dozens of "terror" infrastructure sites, according to a statement by the military.

Targets hit by the Israeli air force included dozens of headquarters, weapons storage facilities, launch sites and anti-tank missile positions.

Cross-border fighting has continued since March 2, when Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel for the first time since a ceasefire agreed on Nov. 27, 2024, triggering intensified Israeli air strikes across southern and eastern Lebanon.
