Israel shifted from demolition to justification, publishing tunnel footage from Ali al-Taher and al-Shaqif it called the secret Badr complex and saying troops had withdrawn to Shqif after detonating some 1,100 tons of explosives. Defence Minister Katz and army chief Zamir threatened further strikes, with Israel insisting the Yellow Line would remain under full control as a fortified security zone.
Parliament Speaker Berri answered that the framework agreement had fallen and the situation was dangerous, as Nabatieh residents described panic and villagers watched further detonations from afar. Talk of Rome negotiations Tuesday faded, with reports of no talks until after the army support conference and of US envoy Issa reaching out to Shiites around Berri.
Preparations for the Paris support conference continued amid warnings of a push toward Nabatieh.
