Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah questioned the President’s ability to succeed after creating what he termed a "deep rift" with a significant segment of the Lebanese public.

Fadlallah accused President Joseph Aoun of breaking core commitments he made to Hezbollah before his election.

The Israeli army struck overnight into Monday Kfartebnit, Deir Seryan, Baraashit, Ali al-Taher and Wadi Zebqine while artillery shelled al-Mansouri, Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, Beit Leef, Wadi Slouqi, Touline, Hadatha, Baraashit, Majdalzoun, Kounine and Mayfadoun.

Israeli forces carried out massive detonations in Baraashit and Ainata, dropped flare bombs on Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, Markaba, Houla, and Hadatha, and opened heavy machine-gun fire towards the towns of Sarbine and Haddatha, as well as the outskirts of Mays al-Jabal, Wadi Slouqi, and Wadi Zebqine.

Beneath the Mediterranean waters off the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, divers swim past stone walls, ancient structures and a submerged road — remnants of parts of a city that once stood above the water.

With a shaky ceasefire in place after the latest Israel-Hezbollah war, visitors are returning to Tyre, a city known for its Roman ruins and its much older Phoenician history. Diving operators say interest in the underwater archaeological sites is increasing, though the number of visitors remains below prewar levels.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem has stressed that "resistance is the only path to liberating the land and all other ways are a waste of time."

"We have directly experienced the path of resistance in Lebanon and found that it liberates both the land and the people," said Qassem during a ceremony organized by a Pakistani students organization.

The Israeli army said Saturday that it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in south Lebanon after two Israeli soldiers were lightly injured when a Hezbollah explosive device detonated under a military bulldozer in the so-called security zone.

Israeli forces has set fire to a government hospital in the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal, inside Israel's self-declared security zone, Lebanon's National News Agency said.

Lebanon's health ministry meanwhile condemned the act as a "barbaric crime."

Lebanon, through its negotiating delegation, is currently considering incorporating the Ali al-Taher hills and surrounding towns into an expansion of the first pilot zone, a Western diplomatic source told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.

The proposal entails establishing an international observation post there --backed by the United States -- alongside the deployment of the Lebanese Army, with the U.S.-led Military Technical Committee for Lebanon (MTC4L) playing a key role in verifying the Lebanese Army's control over the area, the source added.

MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan of Hezbollah on Friday warned against betting on “the weakness of Hezbollah and the Resistance.”

“We would rather die than bow," he announced.

U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa said Thursday that his country remains committed to supporting Lebanese sovereignty and to advancing the success of the framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel.

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut posted the statement on the X platform, after Issa joined a Paris conference focused on strengthening Lebanon's cash-strapped army.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday, as Paris hosted security talks to drum up international support for the cash-strapped Lebanese army that Lebanon's army is "indispensable" for bringing stability to the country.

Macron said that the talks aimed to "strengthen Lebanon's sovereignty and enable it to fully ensure its security", after years during which political factions, such as Hezbollah, wielded greater authority than the Lebanese state.
