Israeli army attacks southern Lebanon

An Israeli air strike has targeted the Wadi al-Hujair area in southern Lebanon. Another aerial attack hit the outskirts of the town of Kfar Tebnit in the Nabatieh district.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

Lebanon’s leaders have called for an end to the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon and the full enforcement of the “ceasefire”, as Israeli shelling and demolitions continue.

More than 60 towns in the war-battered south are still occupied by the Israeli army as troops carrying out a systematic campaign of home demolitions to keep civilians from returning.

"..systematic campaign of home demolitions to keep civilians from returning."

This is similar to what the Israelis have done in Rafah, Southern Gaza, therefore a war crime and crimes against humanity, as it has nothing to do with "evacuation" but preparation for annexation via "occupation."

More Israeli attacks reported in southern Lebanon

Israeli forces have attacked towns across southern Lebanon with artillery and air strikes, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.

The town of Mansouri is being hit with intermittent artillery shelling, launched from positions in occupied Lebanese territory south of the city of Tyre.

Mansouri sits close to occupied Lebanese territory, and has seen frequent attacks by Israel since it invaded Lebanon.

The agency also reported that Israel carried out a bombing Barashit in the Bint Jbeil district.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the attacks.

These attacks are in addition to the aerial bombing of Kfar Tebnit and Wadi al-Hujair reported earlier.

Lebanon cannot ‘sit and wait’ for US-Iran settlement

Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam says the country cannot “sit and wait” for a US-Iran settlement, adding that “if it happens, that’s good. And if it doesn’t happen, are we to remain sitting and waiting”.

According to a series of posts by his office on X relaying his remarks to Lebanese broadcaster NBN, he also said: “We are certainly affected by all regional variables”.

“The state cannot remain in a state of waiting. We must head south and to all regions and bear our responsibilities.”

Salam said “not a day passes” without reaffirming that Lebanon’s goal is the complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory. He also called for an end to Israeli attacks, a solidified ceasefire and work toward the release of prisoners.

Lebanese PM says country wants ‘new page’ with Iran

Lebanon’s PM Salam says the country wants to open a new chapter in relations with Iran based on mutual respect and noninterference, according to posts by his office on X relaying his remarks to NBN.

Salam said he has accepted a meeting requested by Iran’s President Pezeshkian, adding that “we do not interfere in Iran’s affairs”. That was in response to a question asking him whether Lebanon had ever supported an opposition faction in Iran, taken sides in a domestic confrontation or interfered in Iranians’ political choices.

Noting the long history of ties between the two countries, Salam said Lebanon would prefer that Iran appoint a new ambassador, because that would ease the move to a new stage in relations.

He said authorities renewed the Iranian ambassador’s residence permit for three months “as a citizen” but not in his previous diplomatic capacity.
