The Day Hezbollah Illuminated Rouche Rock

Lebanese media on September 25 began by focusing on American threats of disarmament or war and President Trump's pledge for a reconstruction conference, alongside discussions on expatriate voting law. Barrack's statements continued to be a focal point, with concerns about their implications for Lebanon.

Later in the morning, President Aoun urged the diaspora to participate in parliamentary elections, while a P-8 spy plane was sighted over Lebanon, and France's ex-leader Sarkozy was convicted.

By early afternoon, attention shifted to the Rouche Rock situation, with Hezbollah maintaining its stance on illuminating the rock with images of 'martyred leaders' despite prohibitions. This act of defiance was extensively covered, with Salam later ordering the arrest of those involved.
