The day's dominant story was the Israeli military crossing the Litani River with heavy armor, reported by multiple outlets as a significant ground escalation. This occurred as Lebanon prepared for ceasefire negotiations on Thursday, with the US ambassador consulting leaders. Hezbollah's Naim Qassem declared weapons non-negotiable and threatened to turn the battlefield into 'hell.' The UAE blacklisted 16 individuals and 5 entities linked to Hezbollah. An unexploded Israeli bomb was found in Beirut's southern suburb. The day also saw the collapse of the general amnesty law after a contentious Baabda meeting, and France canceled official exams in Lebanon due to security concerns.
