12.10.2026 ⇢ The Day a Leftover Bomb Killed a Student in Ramim
⌨

Dahr al-Baidar dominated the morning, with Prime Minister Salam promising punishment for illicit arms, Geagea calling the truck seizure the most dangerous incident in years and demanding Hezbollah's chain of command be dismantled, as Judge Ghanem opened the probe.

By midday the army announced a second seizure of about 200 kilos of explosives at the Syrian border, publishing photos, with outlets citing C4 and Justice Minister Nassar warning it could level a neighbourhood.

Attention then shifted to Ramim ridge near the border, where an explosion among Israeli schoolchildren rose from eight wounded to one student killed and up to 24 wounded, with the Israeli army preliminarily blaming a leftover Hezbollah cluster bomb.

The EU decision to create a new support mission for Lebanon, welcomed by Aoun, and reports of Hezbollah rearming with drones and recruits framed the security debate, while Riyadh airport fallout receded.
