The day opened with reports of an Israeli two-week ultimatum for a direct accord with Lebanon (L'Orient-Le Jour), while Israeli forces seized Bint Jbeil and continued heavy strikes on Habbouche (Kataeb, MTV Lebanon). Hezbollah retaliated with drone attacks, killing an Israeli soldier (Al-Manar). By mid-morning, Berri rejected negotiations under fire (Al Joumhouria, Addiyar), and Aoun met the US ambassador to stabilize the ceasefire (Janoubia). In the afternoon, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran's nuclear proposal (Naharnet). By evening, Israel ordered strikes on Hezbollah drone production deep in Lebanon (Kataeb, Naharnet), and Trump declared the war with Iran over (LBCI, LBC). The editorial focus was the clash between the US push for direct talks and Hezbollah's refusal, set against ongoing military escalation.
