Amid fears of renewed U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, Israeli strikes have not stopped in south Lebanon.

Overnight into Wednesday, artillery shelling hit Baraashit, al-Mansouri, Wadi Zebqine, al-Qantara, and the outskirts of Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, Harees, and Hadatha.

The Ministry of Social Affairs, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), has launched the National Strategy on the Rights and Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Lebanon 2026–2030, marking a national step towards advancing rights and strengthening inclusion and equal participation.

The launch took place during an official ceremony held Tuesday at the Grand Serail in Beirut, under the patronage and in the presence of Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.

Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Mayfadoun, Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, and Baraashit on Tuesday, following an earlier strike on the outskirts of Kfartebnit.

Overnight into Tuesday, Israeli forces set homes ablaze in Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, Kfartebnit, and Arnoun, and carried out detonations in al-Qantara and Bani Hayan, while artillery hit Wadi Zebqine, al-Mansouri, and Hadatha.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has held phone talks with Qatari PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, during which they reviewed cooperative relations between the two countries and ways to support and enhance them, as well as the latest regional developments.

The two premiers particularly discussed the “ongoing diplomatic efforts and joint coordination to de-escalate tensions and strengthen security and stability in the region,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said.

Israel has sent a message to the Lebanese authorities via the United States, requesting that the Lebanese Army "redeploy and establish checkpoints in areas where Hezbollah elements are present," Israel’s public broadcaster reported overnight.

An Israeli security source attributed this measure to fears that the group “might open a front with Israel in the event it resumes its campaign in Iran." T

The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ali Abdollahi, stated Tuesday that "a powerful Iran has emerged as a fourth pole of power by controlling the Strait of Hormuz as a vital energy artery and determining the rules of access to it."

Syrian authorities have thwarted a “terrorist plot” targeting the Homs Refinery orchestrated by a cell affiliated with Hezbollah, the Syrian interior ministry said on Tuesday.

The ministry explained in a statement that the security operation led to the arrest of the involved cell members and the seizure of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in their possession that were prepared to target the refinery.

Israeli forces launched a series of strikes across southern Lebanon on Monday, targeting the outskirts of Kounine, al-Mansouri, Majdalzoun, and Ibl al-Saqi with artillery fire, alongside airstrikes on al-Qsaïr and Kfar Tebnit.

In addition, Israeli forces opened fire with heavy machine guns toward Ibl al-Saqi, Wadi al-Hujair, and Wadi al-Slouqi, carried out detonations in Beit Yahoun and Bani Hayyan, and bulldozed homes and infrastructure in Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh.

Labor Minister Mohammad Haidar, who was named by Hezbollah, said Monday that his visit to Syria among a Lebanese ministerial delegation is “ministerial work that has nothing to do with any partisan background."

The statement was made from the Jdeidet Yabous crossing, following the arrival of the delegation in Syria led by Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri.

Hezbollah will not escalate over the charges filed by Judge Claude Ghanem against 13 suspects in the Dahr al-Baidar explosives case and "a decision has been made to give political contacts a chance," political sources told the pro-Hezbollah daily al-Akhbar.
