Israeli drones targeted Thursday two cars in east and south Lebanon, killing a Jamaa Islamiya commander in the village of Ghazzeh in Bekaa.

The other drone strike targeted a car in Jbal el-Botm in the Tyre district, near Zebqine.

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday pledged that his group’s fighters would wipe out the Israeli army’s tanks should they invade Lebanon in any future war.

Commenting on the Israeli army’s disclosure that it is suffering from a shortage of tanks due to the war in Gaza and the conflict with Hezbollah, Nasrallah said: “If your tanks come to Lebanon and its south, you will not suffer from a shortage of tanks, because you will no longer have tanks.”

An Israeli drone strike targeted a motorcycle on the Kfar Tebnit-Khardali road on Tuesday, killing two Syrian nationals.

Heavy-caliber artillery shells meanwhile targeted the outskirts of the southern town of Deir Mimas.

Kataeb Party chief MP Sami Gemayel has stressed that “the most important step today would be deactivating the southern front so that we take care of our country, economy, hospitals and education.”

“Once the current war ends, regardless of its results, there should be a frankness session among the Lebanese to think of solutions for all problems, without eliminating anyone or drawing wars,” Gemayel told a Kataeb delegation from Zahle that visited him in Bikfaya.

Almost two years after Michel Aoun's term ended in October 2022, Lebanese MPs still haven't managed to agree on a president or even on a dialogue to elect one.

Opposition MPs have started a presidential initiative, calling for consultations or an open election session, as they refuse a dialogue chaired by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. Berri's camp believe that a dialogue in parliament must be chaired by its Speaker, Berri.

French President Emmanuel Macron has said that Paris, through its “allies and partners in the region,” will ensure that “no power, by itself or through its proxies, triggers a dreaded conflagration.”

Hezbollah targeted Monday soldiers in the Biranit barracks in northern Israel and surveillance equipment in the al-Raheb post, while Israeli warplanes raided the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal and broke the sound barrier over Tyre, Sidon and al-Zahrani.

Also on Monday, the Israeli army struck Marwahin and shelled the outskirts of Shebaa in south Lebanon.

Opposition lawmakers will meet Friday with Amal and Hezbollah MPs, as they resume an initiative they had started last week, aiming to facilitate the election of a president.

Hezbollah said Sunday that it attacked Israel's Ayelet military base with explosive drones in response to attacks on Lebanese towns and the targeting of civilians in Arnoun and al-Khardali.

Hezbollah had launched rockets at Israel on Saturday after an Israeli air strike killed two civilians in the country's south.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has warned that "the situation in Lebanon cannot wait for a settlement for the situation in Gaza," stressing the need for the government to "take decisive and instant measures regarding the southern front in terms of implementing Resolution 1701."
