German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Monday that an Israeli ground offensive in Lebanon was an "error" which would "further exacerbate the already highly tense humanitarian situation" in the country.

Lebanese authorities on Monday said more than one million people had registered as displaced since war erupted on March 2 between Israel and Hezbollah.

In a Monday statement, the ministry recalled the government’s decision which prohibits “the military and security activities of Hezbollah.”

After being forced to flee with his family from Israeli air raids on southern Lebanon, Hussein Fakih searched in vain for an apartment, amid strict measures imposed by hotels and landlords afraid that guests might be targeted by Israel.

Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri will visit the Baabda Palace this week and the files of negotiations with Israel and the appointment of a Shiite member to the negotiating delegation will be the focus of his meeting with President Joseph Aoun, the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported on Monday.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Monday that Lebanese displaced by fighting with Hezbollah would not be allowed to return home until the north of Israel was secure.

"Hundreds of thousands of Shia residents of southern Lebanon who have evacuated and are evacuating their homes from southern Lebanon and Beirut will not return to their homes south of the Litani area until the safety of residents in the north is guaranteed," Katz told military top brass according to a statement.

State Commissioner to the Military Court, Judge Claude Ghanem, on Monday filed charges against four more Hezbollah members for possessing and transporting military weapons, media reports said.

Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri on Monday held separate talks in Ain el Tineh with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa and French Ambassador Herve Magro.

Berri and Magro discussed the latest developments on the ground and the political situation resulting from Israel's continued attacks against Lebanon, the National News Agency said.

Hezbollah said it targeted overnight Israeli troops in Khiam, Odaisseh and al-Taybeh. It also targeted troops and bases in the occupied Golan and north of Kfar Yuval in the Galilee Panhandle of northern Israel.

Troops were also trying to enter Lebanese territories from the southern border towns of Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras, state-run National News Agency said.

Seven people, including children, were killed by Israeli airstrikes on south Lebanon Monday.

A strike on a home in the southern village of Kfar Sir had killed one person early Monday. Another strike occurred after paramedics from the Islamic Health Society, Hezbollah’s health arm, arrived at the scene, killing two paramedics and wounding another person.
