17.08.2026 ⇢ The day of the Ali Taher escalation
⌨
The day was dominated by the escalation on the southern front, particularly around Ali Taher, as Israeli forces conducted incursions and strikes. President Aoun reiterated Lebanon's commitment to the framework agreement and called for state-to-state relations with Iran, while UNIFIL reported a sharp rise in Israeli military activity. Diplomatic efforts focused on extending UNIFIL's mandate, with Aoun and PM Salam insisting on its necessity. Reports indicated Washington refused an Israeli request for a wider operation, and the 60-day US-Iran deadline expired without resolution. Meanwhile, Trump threatened Iran and Oman, and Israeli violations of the ceasefire continued with incendiary bombs and artillery shelling.
