Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil met Tuesday with Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain el-Tineh, to discuss a framework agreement signed Friday with Israel.

The Israeli army struck Tuesday at dawn the southern border town of Deir Seryan and dropped stun grenades on Haddatha and Baraashit, despite a framework accord signed by the two countries last week aimed at securing a peace deal.

Lebanese state media on Monday said an Israeli strike hit the area between the southern Lebanese towns of Qantara and Deir Seryan.

President Joseph Aoun on Monday met with U.S. Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper at the Baabda Palace, in the presence of U.S. Chargé d'Affaires in Beirut Keith Hannigan and Chief of Staff of the 2024 ceasefire mechanism team, General Joseph Clearfield.

The deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, Mahmoud Qmati, noted Monday that the Lebanon-Israel framework agreement was "born dead," stressing that his group will not allow it to be implemented.

Heavy Israeli artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of the southern town of Deir Seryan Monday, despite a trilateral framework agreement signed by Lebanon and Israel under U.S. sponsorship on Friday to pave the way for peace and disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Also on Monday, an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade onto Ebel el-Saqi and Israeli forces detonated overnight several residential buildings in the border villages of Taybe and Haddatha.

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat called again Monday on Lebanon to return to the 1949 Lebanese–Israeli Armistice Agreement, describing it as a "cornerstone" of the relations between Lebanon and Israel.

"It is an integral part of the Taif Agreement. It was mentioned in the presidential oath and reaffirmed by the ministerial statement," Jumblat posted on the X platform, as he lashed out at Lebanese negotiators and the Lebanese President and Prime Minister, accusing them of "overlooking — if not completely deleting — it."
