14.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Katz Threatened to Evacuate Dahiyeh
⌨

Overnight outlets cited US assurances to Aoun of no expanded war if Beirut denied Netanyahu pretexts, while the Tampa round was described as effectively postponed.

Houthi claims of strikes on Aramco in Dhahran, Khaled airport and a Riyadh refinery dominated the morning, with Riyadh acknowledging a limited fire in Dhahran and the IMF warning of global fallout.

UN peacekeeping chief Lacroix met Aoun and Berri in Beirut, both insisting UNIFIL's departure would leave a security vacuum.

Attention then shifted south as Defense Minister Katz threatened to evacuate Dahiyeh and occupy to Nabatieh if Hezbollah joined an Iranian attack on Israel, followed by Netanyahu's vow to eradicate Hezbollah within two years and reports of Israeli artillery and raids across southern villages.

The Dahr al-Baidar explosives probe continued, with investigators pursuing two aliases and Baabda insisting on no cover-up.
