President Aoun declared confidence in Lebanon was gradually returning while announcing imminent judicial appointments and plans to pursue corruption files, with customs reform as the next priority. This optimism contrasted sharply with Palestinian camp resistance, as Ain el-Hilweh residents maintained their refusal to surrender weapons despite the approaching June 16 disarmament deadline.
Israeli strikes resumed in southern Lebanon, killing two people in Aita al-Shaab and Arnoun, continuing the pattern from previous days. The Lebanese Army repositioned itself in Aita al-Shaab following these attacks.
US envoy Ortagus prepared for her final visit before replacement, with American sources insisting diplomatic momentum would continue. Prime Minister Salam met Speaker Berri, declaring neither heated nor cold relations while reaffirming commitment to weapon monopolization.
By evening, reports emerged of cooling tensions between Salam and Hezbollah following Berri's intervention, while a Hezbollah member was arrested in Harouf on suspicion of Israeli collaboration.
