18.04.2025 ⇢ Day of Second Hezbollah Commander's Death and Army Weapons Seizure
⌨
Israel killed a second Hezbollah commander in 24 hours near Sidon, with official Israeli sources confirming the targeting of a Hezbollah member. This continues the pattern of targeted strikes seen in previous days. The Lebanese Army seized rockets and weapons in Rachia and arrested eight citizens in Kfarzabad, Bekaa, while implementing security measures around Baddawi camp.
Prime Minister Salam told the Washington Post that the army is making "serious progress" extending its presence in South Lebanon, consistent with the previous day's cabinet discussion on UNIFIL mandate extension. Hezbollah's position hardened with Kassem stating the group "will not allow anyone to disarm it," contradicting President Aoun's timeline for weapons control.
The investigation into Lokman Slim's assassination was reopened. Iran-US nuclear negotiations are set to resume Saturday in Rome, while Kataeb party claimed Hamas's involvement in launching rockets from southern Lebanon represents a "serious breach of Lebanese sovereignty."
