Lebanese media on December 13th was significantly shaped by a series of statements from Hezbollah and a notable incident in southern Lebanon. Morning reports and early afternoon coverage focused on Sheikh Naim Qassem, who explicitly stated that the resistance's weapons would not be disarmed and emphasized their integral connection to the land and soul. This rhetoric was presented as a direct rejection of American and Israeli demands for disarmament.
Concurrently, attention was drawn to an incident in Yanouh, southern Lebanon, where the "Mechanism" committee requested to inspect a home. The Lebanese army conducted the search, reportedly finding no weapons. This event led to heightened tensions and was later followed by reports of the Israeli army temporarily freezing an airstrike in Yanouh, with the intervention of the Lebanese army and UNIFIL altering the Israeli scenario in the south.
