Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri threatened Monday to adjourn a legislative session after MP Ali Hassan Khalil of Berri’s bloc accused the Lebanese Forces of not wanting parliamentary elections and a verbal clash ensued.

Khalil voiced his remarks after MP Georges Adwan of the LF said his party would suspend its participation in the sessions of the subcommittee discussing the electoral law, prompting Khalil to say that “it’s clear that the brothers want to torpedo the elections.”

An Israeli drone targeted Monday the southern border town of Aitaroun, a day after a series of strikes that the Israeli military said targeted weapons depots belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

"A short while ago, the IDF (Israeli military) struck Hezbollah weapon storage facilities in southern Lebanon. These weapon depots were used by the terrorist organization to advance and carry out terror attacks against the State of Israel," the Israeli military said in a statement Sunday.

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has met with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani, in the presence of Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani, Hezbollah said on Sunday.

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said the group would not allow itself to be disarmed on Saturday as he addressed supporters marking one year since the killing by Israel of his predecessor Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

The charismatic leader was killed in an Israeli air strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut on September 27, 2024.

A top Iranian security official called on regional countries Saturday to put their differences aside and cooperate closely as they face what he called "Israel's conspiracies."

Ali Larijani, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, spoke in Beirut where he arrived earlier Saturday to attend the anniversary of Israel's assassination of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters gathered Saturday at the tomb of the group's former chief, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, to mark the first anniversary of Israel's assassination of their longtime leader.

Hezbollah suffered one blow after another during its most recent war with Israel, culminating in the killing of the group's longtime leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in massive Israeli airstrikes on a Beirut suburb.

The group was weakened militarily and politically. Many of its opponents declared that its days as a dominant regional and local player were over.

Lebanon's former central bank governor Riad Salameh walked free from a year in custody over embezzlement allegations Friday after posting more than $14 million in bail, a judicial official told AFP.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that “peace between Israel and Lebanon is possible,” calling on the Lebanese government to “begin direct negotiations with Israel.”

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Friday said that the Raouche Rock event proved that “Hezbollah has not learned anything from everything that has happened and has not drawn lessons from the tragedies it plunged Lebanon and the Lebanese into.”

“In whose face was the finger raised yesterday on the Raouche Rock? The Israeli attacks on Lebanon are countless, so was that finger raised to confront them? Or was it raised in the face of the majority of Beirut’s residents and the Lebanese in general?” Geagea wondered, referring to a laser illustration of Nasrallah’s famous finger gesture that was beamed onto the Raouche Rock during Thursday’s event.
