18.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Israeli Troops Confronted the Army in Deir Mimas
⌨
Israeli units advanced toward the outskirts of Haddatha and Deir Mimas with artillery fire on Mansouri, Majdal Zoun and Wadi al-Azziyeh. Attention narrowed to a new Lebanese Army position near Deir Mimas, where Israeli forces demanded evacuation and used sound bombs. The Lebanese Army pulled back toward Borj al-Molouk before redeploying after the Israeli withdrawal. Israel later said it expected the Lebanese Army to stay out of the security zone.
Follow-up to the Paris meeting displaced the field in the evening press, with Paris conditioning army support on financial reform and state-building, an IMF mission in Baabda warning of social explosion, and debate over a European mission to replace UNIFIL and who controls north of the Litani.
At home, fuel prices jumped past $31 for gasoline with diesel shortages forecast, while September rains flooded roads in Mkalles and Khaldeh.
