A delegation from Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc comprising MPs Mohammad Raad, Ali Ammar and Hassan Fadlallah on Thursday met with former president Michel Aoun in Rabieh.

Israel has informed Western countries that it has set a “March 15 deadline for reaching a political settlement with Lebanon” after which it would “escalate military operations to a broad war,” Western diplomats told al-Akhbar newspaper.

Once again, Lebanese will set their clocks forward by one hour at the end of March, losing perhaps a bit of sleep but gaining more glorious sunlight in the evenings as the days warm into summer.

Last spring, chaos ensued when the government announced a last-minute decision to delay the start of daylight saving time by a month — until the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Some institutions made the change and others refused as citizens tried to piece together their schedules. Within days, the decision was reversed.

Hezbollah attacked Thursday a command center in northern Israel as the conflict stretched into its sixth month.

The group said it has attacked a "newly created" command center in Liman while Israeli artillery shelled Aita al-Shaab, Salib near al-Ghajar, the Yaroun reserve and the outskirts of Rmeish in southern Lebanon.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, the British Embassy in Beirut is launching its ‘Ambassador For A Day’ (AFAD) competition, now jointly with the Embassy of Canada to Lebanon. AFAD winners will get to shadow an Ambassador in Lebanon for one day, to see first-hand how girls can become leaders and advocates for change.

Each winner will be paired with an Ambassador or head of a U.N. Agency in Lebanon to spend a day with them and their team, and be invited as Guests of Honour to a ceremony hosted by the British and Canadian embassies. "This promises to be an unforgettable opportunity to build skills in diplomacy, confidence, and leadership," the British Embassy in Beirut said in a statement Thursday.

Hezbollah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has admitted that the 2006 memorandum of understanding with the Free Patriotic Movement has become “suspended” due to “different visions” and “differences over various issues.”

“We have taken a decision in Hezbollah not to engage in exchanges of tirades with the FPM,” Qassem said in a TV interview, while noting that “the channels of communication are still open.”

Hezbollah attacked Wednesday the Metula post with a suicide drone.

It said it acted "in response to the Israeli aggression against the villages of the south and the homes of civilians."

The Council of Maronite Bishops on Wednesday said it “categorically rejects implicating Lebanon in the Palestinian-Israeli war,” noting that “all Arab countries have distanced themselves from its flames.”

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein, who left Monday night for Israel through Cyprus after visiting Lebanon, kept one of his top aides in Beirut to “continue meetings with Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker PM Najib Mikati and through them with Hezbollah,” al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Wednesday.

“Hochstein told some of those he met that he will put them in the picture of his talks with the Israeli leadership and that he has great confidence that the truce in Gaza is imminent and that he wants to make use of it to launch negotiations with Lebanon aimed at consolidating the ceasefire that will certainly take place (in south Lebanon) after the truce in Gaza,” the daily quoted sources as saying.

As International mediators gathered for a third day of talks with Hamas in Cairo to discuss a plan for a six-week truce in Gaza, former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat asked why wouldn't the U.S. call for a similar cease-fire in Lebanon.

"If U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is asking for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, why wouldn't U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein do the same for a Lebanon," Jumblat posted Tuesday on the X platform.
