Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab on Friday met with a delegation of Lebanon-based Hamas officials that was led by Ahmed Abdul Hadi, hours after the Palestinians hailed a victory in their 11-day war with Israel.

“The delegation demonstrated the facts of the victory of Gaza and Jerusalem and the details of the ceasefire,” the National News Agency said.

LibanPost has announced the launch of a Collection Service for the Order of Engineers & Architects in Tripoli and North Lebanon.

The service, which was launched on May 18, allows registered engineers to “pay their annual subscription fee at any LibanPost office all over Lebanon,” LibanPost said in a statement.

Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil on Friday congratulated the Palestinian groups in Gaza on the “new victory” against Israel.

“In 2006, the resistance in Lebanon established the deterrence equation that consolidated stability and reined in Israel. In 2021, the resistance in Palestine established the deterrence equation that consolidated the right to self-determination and laid the cornerstone for the two-state solution,” Bassil tweeted.

Speaker Nabih Berri on Friday swiftly adjourned a parliamentary session after a letter sent by President Michel Aoun was recited, in an apparent bid to calm political tensions.

A new session will now be held at 2pm Saturday to discuss the letter.

Hizbullah hailed a "historic victory" for the Palestinians after a ceasefire took effect Friday between Israel and Gaza militants following 11 days of fighting.

"Hizbullah congratulates the heroic Palestinian people and its valiant resistance on the historic victory achieved... against the Zionist enemy," the group said in a statement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Security Cabinet has approved a unilateral ceasefire to halt an 11-day military operation in the Gaza Strip, Israeli media said late Thursday.

The decision came after heavy U.S. pressure to halt the offensive. Multiple reports said the ceasefire was to go into effect at 2 a.m., just over three hours after the decision.

The northern city of Tripoli witnessed several security incidents on Thursday evening in connection with the Lebanese-Syrian unrest that rocked several Lebanese regions during the day.

As assailants in the city torched the Kataeb Party’s office and a clinic affiliated with the Lebanese Forces with Molotov cocktails, an Energa-type, rifle-fired grenade was launched in the area between al-Qobbeh and Bab al-Tabbaneh, wounding two people.

Lebanese politicians on Thursday expressed conflicting opinions following tensions and violence between Lebanese mobs and Syrians heading to vote at the Syrian embassy in their country’s presidential election.

“It is unacceptable to provoke people in internal neighborhoods and streets with this insolence,” MP Eddy Abillama of the Lebanese Forces tweeted.

Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil on Thursday accused the Lebanese Forces of orchestrating the attacks that targeted Syrian voters in Lebanon throughout the day.

“When we called for a safe and dignified return for the displaced Syrians, you called us racists, and when we devised a civilized plan for a safe and dignified return for the displaced, you opposed it and said that we were factionalists,” Bassil tweeted.

Lebanese mobs attacked buses and cars carrying Syrian expatriates and refugees heading to the Syrian embassy in Baabda on Thursday, protesting against what they said was an organized vote for President Bashar Assad.

Scattered mobs of anti-Syrian Lebanese, most of them from the Lebanese Forces party, waited for convoys of cars and buses carrying Syrian voters at intersections in Beirut, outside the capital and in the eastern Bekaa region. They pelted them with rocks and smashed windows with sticks. In one incident near Nahr el-Kalb on the highway north of Beirut, one attacker poked a wooden stick inside the car, poking the driver as others smashed the windshield.
