Israeli drones targeted Friday two locations in south Lebanon, killing at least one person.

A drone strike targeted a car on the outskirts of the southern town of al-Hibbariyeh hours after another strike targeted a car in al-Abbasiyeh.

U.S. special envoy for Syria Tom Barrack will visit former PSP leader Walid Jumblat after the latter was insulted by former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus.

"Crack is whack, Walid," Ortagus wrote on the X platform after Jumblat described her conditions as "unrealistic."

Hezbollah will certainly not join the Israel-Iran war, the group's ally Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has reportedly told his visitors.

Berri's visitors told al-Jadeed, in remarks published Friday, that the speaker is "certain" that Lebanon will not join the war.

The decisions of war and peace in Lebanon “belong only to the state,” official Lebanese sources stressed Friday, after Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said Hezbollah is “not neutral” in the war between Israel and Iran and would act as it sees fit.

Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said on Thursday that his Iran-backed group would "act as we see fit" in response to the ongoing war between Iran and Israel.

In a written statement, Qassem said Hezbollah was "not neutral" in the conflict between the two regional superpowers, saying that the group would "act as we see fit in the face of this brutal Israeli-American aggression."

Hezbollah will not join the fray in the Israeli-Iranian war, a Lebanese government source told al-Jadeed Thursday, after an Iranian official told al-Jazeera that Hezbollah would act if the United States intervened to back up its ally Israel.

"The communication between the Lebanese Army and Hezbollah is reassuring," the source said, ruling out such a possibility.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that the entire "Shiite axis" including Hezbollah is not responding to Israeli attacks on Iran.

"Hezbollah has not fired a single rocket," Netanyahu said, vowing to "remove" the nuclear and ballistic missile threat posed by Iran, on the seventh day of war between the arch foes.

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.
