The United States on Thursday sanctioned Hezbollah MPs Hassan Fadlallah, Hussein al-Hajj Hassan and Ibrahim al-Moussawi; Hezbollah official and ex-minister Mohammad Fneish, Amal Movement security officials Ahmad Baalbaki and Ali Safawi, Lebanese Army intelligence officer Samer Hamadi and General Security officer Khattar Nassereddine, and Iranian Ambassador-designate to Lebanon Mohammad Reza Sheibani, accusing them of enabling Hezbollah.

Lebanon said an Israeli strike on Thursday damaged a hospital in the country's south, where Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire despite a ceasefire.

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has said that Lebanon should devise a national security strategy document and Hezbollah's weapons "should be part of it."

Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc urged on Thursday Arab and foreign embassies to inform their governments of the daily Israeli aggressions, over the course of fifteen months, since a truce was reached in November 2024.

"That agreement obligated both sides to cease all forms of hostilities and mandated the withdrawal of the Israeli army from the territories it occupied in southern Lebanon. While Lebanon has strictly adhered to this agreement, the Israeli side has continued its daily aggressions," the letter said.

President Joseph Aoun is dismayed about the U.S. backing down on their promise to pressure Israel into a ceasefire, al-Binaa newspaper said Thursday.

The daily reported that Aoun told U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa that the Israeli violations are "embarrassing" to him before the Lebanese people and that a real truce and withdrawal are needed in order for negotiations to resume smoothly.

The Lebanese military delegation to the May 29 talks with Israel at the Pentagon is expected to be formed within the next two days, although its composition will remain confidential for now, sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper.

A draft agreement, resembling a "declaration of intent" between Lebanon and Israel, is circulating in political and diplomatic circles,

Even months after she was displaced by war, Soubhiye Zeiter starts every morning the same way: with a large cup of coffee and a few quiet moments beside a small table decorated with flowers outside her tent in Beirut.

But once the coffee is poured, the quiet disappears quickly.

Israeli strikes targeted Thursday Touline, al-Ghandouriyeh, Yater, Srifa, al-Mansouri, and the Toura-Jannata road, while artillery shelled Qabrikha, Baraashit, and Kfardounine in south Lebanon and troops detonated houses in the border town of Khiam.

A drone later targeted a motorbike in Froun, killing one person.

Hezbollah said Wednesday its fighters were engaged in clashes with a force of Israeli soldiers that repeatedly tried to advance from the southern border town of Rshaf towards Haddatha.

The group said in a statement that the Israeli force had tried to enter Haddatha three times in one week amid fierce resistance.
