โจThe newspapers report on Israeli escalation in southern Lebanon ahead of municipal elections. Multiple sources highlight Israeli strikes in the south and Bekaa valley (L'Orient-Le Jour, Naharnet, Addiyar), with warnings to residents of Toul village (Naharnet). Political dynamics feature prominently with discussions of an "open channel" between Baabda and Hezbollah (Addiyar), questions about Palestinian weapons (Addiyar), and reports that Israel may lose its opportunity to strike Iran soon (Lebanon24). A young man named Haidar Muhammad Faqih was reportedly martyred in front of his home in Rab Thalatheen (Janoubia), while Ortagus has postponed her visit to Beirut (Kataeb).
