Following yesterday's army threat to withdraw from ceasefire monitoring, tensions escalated as Hezbollah youth physically blocked UNIFIL patrols in Sarepta. UN commander Tenenti responded by asserting that Resolution 1701 grants peacekeepers freedom of movement regardless of Lebanese Army presence, directly challenging the coordination protocols that had governed operations since the truce began.
The Lebanese Army simultaneously removed Israeli earth barriers in Mays al-Jabal, demonstrating continued implementation of ceasefire terms despite the monitoring crisis. Israeli media accused the Lebanese government of knowing about Hezbollah drone construction a week before the Dahieh strikes, while defense analyst Sayegh warned that the intensity of recent attacks indicated potential return to military operations.
Iran announced obtaining Israeli nuclear facility documents, calling it the "biggest intelligence blow in history." French envoy Lodrian arrived in Beirut amid diplomatic warnings that time was running out for Lebanon.
