Israeli drones raided Wednesday Kfakila while artillery shelled Kfarshouba, Houla, and the outskirts of Kfar Hamam, and warplanes broke the sound barrier over Nabatieh and Iqlim al-Toffah.

Israeli jets had raided late Tuesday the southern town of Shihine, targeting the Amal-affiliated Islamic Risala Scout Association. No casualties were reported.

The Kataeb party criticized Hezbollah Tuesday for "storing weapons between houses".

"Hiding weapons between houses does not support Gaza," al-Kataeb said in a statement, mentioning a strike on "an ammunition depot" in Adloun in south Lebanon.

An Israeli drone targeted Tuesday a pickup vehicle in the southern town of Shaqra near the border, killing at least one person.

Another person was injured in the strike, local media outlets said.

Opposition MPs filed Monday a petition asking for a parliamentary session to discuss the ongoing clashes on the southern border.

The petition asks Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to call for a session to discuss the daily border clashes between Hezbollah and the Israeli army, in order to avoid any further escalation.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has accused the rival Hezbollah-led camp of “lying about everything.”

“The Axis of Defiance are ready to lie about everything. They claim that Christians do not agree on the same candidate, whereas Christians were in agreement on the same candidate, Jihad Azour, during the famous June 14, 2023 session,” Geagea said.

Hezbollah said it attacked Monday al-Malkia in northern Israel with a suicide drone, while Israeli warplanes raided the southern towns of Yater and Shihine and artillery shelled a region between Kfarkela and Odaisseh.

Also on Monday, Israeli warplanes broke the sound barrier over Nabatieh, Iqlim al-Tuffah, Tyre, Sidon, Aramoun, Bchamoun and Khalde.

Opposition lawmakers were supposed to meet on Friday and Monday with Amal and Hezbollah MPs, as they resume an initiative they had started last week, aiming to facilitate the election of a president, but the meeting was cancelled.

Opposition sources and Lebanese Forces MP Georges Okais confirmed that Amal and Hezbollah cancelled the meeting.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has ruled out a broad Israeli war on Lebanon while stressing the need to “stop the genocidal war that Israel is waging on the Palestinian people.”

In an interview with the Milan-based Avvenire newspaper, which is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, Berri added that “Lebanon does not need new agreements to restore calm and stability in the (southern) border area,” noting that “there is a resolution issued by the U.N. Security Council carrying the number 1701 and Lebanon is committed to all its stipulations.”

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Friday met with Vladimir Safronkov, the Russian foreign minister’s special envoy for Lebanon.

“The meeting tackled the situation in south Lebanon and Gaza and the stalled peace process,” the National News Agency said.

Hezbollah’s top lawmaker Mohammad Raad on Friday noted that the “course” of his group’s conflict with Israel will become clear “within a few days,” in an apparent reference to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S.

“Let us be patient for a few days to see the prospects and the atmosphere that we will move forward in. We will not hesitate or give up our resistant choice and we will not weaken in the face of the arrogance of tyranny and occupation,” Raad added.
