04.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Israel Shelled Southern Towns Since Dawn
⌨

Editors opened with the tripartite framework facing an implementation test ahead of the 20 October Tampa round, reporting Jordanian-American contacts and disputes over timetable and guarantees.

Attention then fixed on the south, where outlets tracked artillery fire, flares, house burnings and a blast in Mansouri from dawn into the evening, with overflights reported over Dahiyeh and the central Bekaa. The Israeli army spoke of two soldiers wounded in an operational accident, while Lebanese outlets relayed Israeli claims about vanished Hezbollah flags and a 12-kilometre 'yellow line.'

Hezbollah answered by conditioning any arms discussion on Israeli withdrawal and prior state deployment, calling dialogue futile otherwise. Prime Minister Salam countered that the war was not over, demanded full withdrawal and no vacuum after UNIFIL, as reports spoke of 3,000 US troops in Israel and no breakthrough before US elections.
