Israel's military spokesman Avichay Adraee has said in a tweet that a drone crashed in Lebanon when an Israeli force was performing routine activities.

The spokesman added in Arabic that there were no concerns of information being leaked.

U.S. Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Richard Michaels has celebrated the successful implementation of the “Business Innovation and Enhance Exports in Lebanon (BIEEL)” at a closing event in the presence of Fair Trade Lebanon President Sami Abdel Malak, Director General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Louis Lahoud representatives from the industrialist association, chambers of commerce and the U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) team, MEPI Coordinator David Lewis and MEPI Program Manager Maya Barhouche, SMEs and local enterprises.

"MEPI, through the $2.5 million BIEEL project implemented by Fair Trade Lebanon, helped 100 Lebanese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and cooperatives produce and promote Fair Trade Certified products, and provide access to international export markets," the U.S. Embassy in Beirut said in a statement.

French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian discussed “three points” with Hezbollah during his visit last week to Lebanon, sources close to the Shiite Duo said.

Below are the three points as reported Monday by al-Liwaa newspaper:

Hezbollah said its fighters shot down on Monday an Israeli drone that was flying near the border and over southern Lebanon.

The group gave no further details about the type of the drone that it claimed was downed near the village of Zibqin just north of the border with Israel. There was no immediate comment from Israel.

French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian has told his Lebanese “friends” that prior to his visit to Lebanon he had not imagined that “the situation would be this bad,” admitting that he “didn’t find any common ground among the political forces,” a media report said.

Al-Akhbar newspaper added that Le Drian asked Suleiman Franjieh’s allies during his meetings about “the way to secure Franjieh’s election as president.”

No new developments are expected in the presidential file before the return of French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian to Beirut next month, a media report said.

“He will specify the nature of his next steps in light of consultations between Paris and Riyadh in particular and within the five-nation, international-Arab group in general,” al-Joumhouria newspaper said.

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil is still keen on the FPM's understanding with Hezbollah despite many disagreements.

During a late Sunday meeting in Baabda, Bassil claimed that his party has made sacrifices because of its understanding with Hezbollah and has paid the price "in order to preserve the unity of Lebanon," as he accused Hezbollah of imposing a president on the Christians.

The French President's Personal Envoy to Lebanon, Jean-Yves Le Drian, has said that he “will work to facilitate a constructive and inclusive dialogue among the Lebanese in order to reach a solution that is at the same time consensual and effective to get out of the institutional vacuum.”

The outcome of French presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian’s visit to Beirut was not encouraging, informed sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Saturday.

Carlos Ghosn has said that the $1 billion lawsuit he recently filed against Nissan and others is just the beginning of his fight.

The former Nissan CEO said during an interview with The Associated Press in Beirut that had he been an American citizen filing a lawsuit in the United States, "I would not be asking for $1 billion, but for much more," given his suffering.
