Nabatieh

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited the southern city of Nabatieh to assert state sovereignty in a "Hezbollah" stronghold, emphasizing national security and military deployment.

Saudi-American-Lebanese talks and the Lebanese army's deployment in Nabatieh aim to de-escalate southern tensions, as intensive backchannel diplomacy continues.

During the night, Hezbollah launched two explosive drones toward IDF forces in the Ali al-Tahar ridge area. Soldiers fired at one of the drones and intercepted it; there were no casualties. In response, the IDF struck infrastructure of the organization in the Nabatieh area that was used for planning and directing terror plots.

Dozens of Hezbollah operatives and IRGC officers are trapped in a strategic underground complex, with the IDF controlling most access routes. However, their elimination could force Tehran to respond and reignite the region. Israel currently prefers a strategy of siege and patience, while secret negotiations for a solution take place behind the scenes. A battle that could influence not only the end...

The IDF conducted artillery fire towards the Ali-Taher ridge in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, diplomatic sources report no plans for a new round of negotiations with Israel next month.
