The Day the Army Found Nothing in Dahieh

French envoy Lodrian and Israeli Defense Minister Barak arrived in Beirut as Lebanese sources issued warnings that "the current situation is no longer sustainable." The diplomatic visits occurred amid escalating military incidents - an Israeli drone crashed in Dahieh and a motorcycle strike killed one person on Kafardounin road.

The Lebanese Army conducted a surprise inspection in Marije, southern suburbs, following alerts from the ceasefire monitoring committee. Multiple outlets covered the operation throughout the afternoon and evening, with Janoubia eventually reporting that the army "found nothing" at the site.

The inspection followed yesterday's army threats to withdraw from ceasefire monitoring over blocked Israeli inspections. Reports emerged of Israeli-American agreement to end UNIFIL's mission in the south, though the US State Department later denied this. The military activity continued a pattern from recent days where ceasefire violations and monitoring disputes have intensified diplomatic pressure on Lebanon.
