13.05.2026The Day of the Coastal Road Car Hunt

The day's dominant story was the Israeli drone campaign targeting vehicles along the coastal highway from Jiyeh to Saida, killing at least 29 people. This mobile assassination tactic, described as 'car hunting,' escalated throughout the day, with seven vehicles struck. Hezbollah responded with claimed ambushes and drone attacks on Israeli forces. Diplomatically, Lebanon filed an unprecedented UN complaint against Iran for interference, while President Aoun's arms monopoly decision was called 'final and irreversible.' A preliminary Lebanese-American meeting took place in Washington ahead of negotiations. The day also saw Trump meeting Xi in Beijing with the Iran file as a top priority.
