Israeli strikes targeted overnight Tallousa, Aita al-Jabal and Hadatha-Harees, the National News Agency said.

The strikes come hours after a drone targeted a motorcyclist in Qabrikha, killing the man and wounding another, the first such death since September.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir vowed a "strong defense" against Hezbollah as he visited Israeli forces in the occupied southern town of Khiam on Wednesday.

During the visit, Zamir warned Hezbollah that Israeli forces remain on high alert and ready to strike. "We are committed to establishing a strong defense along our borders and safeguarding the security of residents in the north," he said.

Kataeb Party leader MP Sami Gemayel has called for "executive measures" to prevent Hezbollah from dragging Lebanon into a war.

"The state cannot leave the decision to avoid war to Hezbollah and build on reassurances from the group," Gemayel told journalists on Wednesday.

Beirut port blast investigator Judge Tarek Bitar on Wednesday interrogated and charged the Lebanese Army’s former chief of staff Walid Salman and retired army brigadier generals George Moussa, Munir Abou Zeid and Manuel Kirjian, the National News Agency said.

Hezbollah denied Wednesday allegations by Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council regarding the presence of Hezbollah experts in the country.

The group dismissed claims of its involvement in training, arming, and military operations for Ansar Allah as "completely baseless."

Amid fears of renewed U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Israeli strikes have not stopped in south Lebanon.

A strike on a motorcycle in the southern town of Qabrikha killed one person and wounded another, the Health Ministry said, the first such casualties since September.

The Ministry of Social Affairs, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), has launched the National Strategy on the Rights and Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Lebanon 2026–2030, marking a national step towards advancing rights and strengthening inclusion and equal participation.

The launch took place during an official ceremony held Tuesday at the Grand Serail in Beirut, under the patronage and in the presence of Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.

Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Mayfadoun, Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, and Baraashit on Tuesday, following an earlier strike on the outskirts of Kfartebnit.

Overnight into Tuesday, Israeli forces set homes ablaze in Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, Kfartebnit, and Arnoun, and carried out detonations in al-Qantara and Bani Hayan, while artillery hit Wadi Zebqine, al-Mansouri, and Hadatha.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has held phone talks with Qatari PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, during which they reviewed cooperative relations between the two countries and ways to support and enhance them, as well as the latest regional developments.

The two premiers particularly discussed the “ongoing diplomatic efforts and joint coordination to de-escalate tensions and strengthen security and stability in the region,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said.

Israel has sent a message to the Lebanese authorities via the United States, requesting that the Lebanese Army "redeploy and establish checkpoints in areas where Hezbollah elements are present," Israel’s public broadcaster reported overnight.

An Israeli security source attributed this measure to fears that the group “might open a front with Israel in the event it resumes its campaign in Iran." T
