26.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Israeli Forces Pushed Into Deir Mimas
⌨

New York week closed with Prime Minister Salam meeting Saudi minister bin Farhan and returning without a date for an eighth negotiation round, which editors read as two months of paralysis and U.S. pressure for the army alone to hold the southern border. Hezbollah said it would not answer escalation, leaving responsibility to the state.

Attention moved south, where Israeli forces raided Sajd, Jabal al-Rafie and al-Rihan and entered olive groves on the edge of Deir Mimas, prompting municipal warnings, while a shepherd survived fire and reports spoke of repositioning and a coming wave of strikes. Salam's warning of a vacuum if UNIFIL left was replayed.

Iran's seven-day conditional offer to reopen Hormuz, tied to a Lebanon truce, was rejected by Trump, as coverage marked two years since Nasrallah's killing.
