President Joseph Aoun on Thursday told visiting U.S. envoy Tom Barrack that contacts are ongoing to address the issue of the arms of Hezbollah and the Palestinian factions in Lebanon, adding that the talks will intensify “after the stabilization of the situation in the region which deteriorated due to the escalation of the Israel-Iranian conflict.”

Hezbollah condemned Thursday Israel's threats to kill Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after an Israeli hospital was hit during an Iranian missile attack.
"Khamenei openly declares that he wants Israel destroyed -- he personally gives the order to fire on hospitals. He considers the destruction of the state of Israel to be a goal," Israel's defense minister Israel Katz told journalists in Holon near Tel Aviv. "Such a man can no longer be allowed to exist."

An Israeli strike on the southern town of Kfarjoz in Nabatieh killed one person overnight, with Israel saying he was "the head of Hezbollah's anti-tank unit in Shebaa."
Media reports said another person, standing on the balcony of his house near the strike, later died of his injuries.

The Free Patriotic Movement said Wednesday that Lebanon should not take part in the Israeli-Iranian conflict as the arch foes traded fire for the sixth day.
"The war in the region is concerning and is threatening peace and stability in the region and in Lebanon," the statement said, describing the Israeli strikes on Iran as an aggression and condemning it. "The FPM is against any aggression on the sovereignty of any county."

Under-Secretary-General for U.N. Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix met Wednesday in Lebanon with President Joseph Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri.

An Israeli interception missile landed Wednesday afternoon in a valley between the Tyre district towns of Barish and Maaroub, the state-run National News Agency reported.

An Israeli drone on Wednesday dropped leaflets resembling fake currency over the southern town of Aitaroun, the National News Agency said.

Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati denied Tuesday in an interview with Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik that Hezbollah would get involved in the Iranian-Israeli war.
"Israeli reports about Hezbollah preparing to intervene are merely false pretexts to justify Israel's ongoing aggression against Lebanon," Qmati said.

A civilian narrowly escaped Israeli fire on his car on the outskirts of al-Khiam in south Lebanon on Monday night as Israel dropped an incendiary bomb on the southern border town of Blida.
On Tuesday, media reports said that Israel dropped leaflets over al-Naqoura warning fishermen against fishing there, while a drone dropped a sound bomb on the coastal town.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri hinted that Israel will destroy everything and everyone in the region if it wins this war.
"There will be only Israel," he said, in remarks published Tuesday in Annahar, adding that those who are happy shouldn't be.
