Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Wednesday called on the government to reverse its decision to pay LBP 93 billion in compensations to the southerners affected by Israel’s attacks.

“We are living the suffering of the south’s residents every day and we are daily living the plight of the destroyed villages, all because of a decision taken unilaterally by Hezbollah when it started military operations in the south under the excuse of supporting Gaza,” Geagea said in a statement.

Lebanon has issued arrest warrants in absentia for Paul Meouchi, who is in Sweden, Peter Naffah and a third person who is outside Lebanon over their involvement in the TikTok child molestation ring, a judicial source told Al-Arabiya television.

The judiciary also sent Red Notices to the Interpol for the suspects who are on the run due to the presence of many of them in several countries, the source added.

The French President's Special Envoy to Lebanon, Jean-Yves Le Drian, held separate meetings Wednesday Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Hezbollah's top lawmaker Mohammad Raad, on the second day of his visit to Lebanon.

“Berri reiterated his adherence to his presidential election initiative, repeating his call for consultations without preconditions before moving to parliament to elect a president in successive rounds from a list comprising a number of candidates,” al-Jadeed television said.

Hezbollah targeted Wednesday a group of soldiers in Shtula and surveillance equipment in the al-Raheb post in northern Israel.

Israeli soldiers meanwhile fired machine guns at a Lebanese army position in the southern border town of Alma al-Shaab, while artillery shelled Wadi Hassan and the outskirts of al-Jebbayn and Shihine.

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has said that “the massacres that are happening in Rafah reflect the (Israeli) enemy’s brutality and treachery.”

“You are the beasts … The scene in Gaza is appalling and horrifying -- burned bodies and beheaded children,” Nasrallah added via video link during a memorial service commemorating his late mother who passed away on Saturday.

A five-year-old child from Gaza has landed safely in Beirut days ago to receive medical treatment at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC).

The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund (GASCF), in collaboration with the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), transported the child who suffers from an injury in his upper limb to Lebanon to receive medical care.

Former U.S. presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has been photographed writing "Finish Them" on an Israeli shell as she toured sites near the northern border with Lebanon.

The photograph was posted on X on Tuesday by Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli parliament and former ambassador to the United Nations, who was accompanying Haley on her visit.

Hezbollah targeted Tuesday several Israeli military posts with guided missiles and artillery shells.

The group said it targeted the Ramia post from a short distance and another post in the occupied Kfarshouba Hills.

The French President's Special Envoy to Lebanon, Jean-Yves Le Drian, arrived Tuesday in Beirut for talks with top officials.

Le Drian will meet with Speaker Nabih Berri on Wednesday, Asharq al-Awsat newspaper said, adding that Berri will respond to a Quintet's statement after meeting Le Drian.

"Dialogue is the key to the presidential vote and will happen sooner or later," said Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri who accused the Lebanese Forces of obstructing the presidential dialogue.

Berri told al-Joumhouria newspaper, in remarks published Tuesday, that he will definitely be the one chairing the dialogue in Beirut, after local media reports said earlier this week that France is considering holding a presidential dialogue for Lebanese parties in Paris.
