Walid Jumblatt announced his Progressive Socialist Party had surrendered its weapons to the state, calling on others to follow suit in what media portrayed as opening a "soft exit" for Hezbollah's disarmament. The gesture came as Israeli strikes resumed in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions in Nabatieh and killing one person with 21 injured.
President Aoun called for international action to halt Israeli violations while the army intercepted weapons smuggling attempts in Hermel. The cabinet approved raising the minimum wage by over 50% to 28 million Lebanese pounds monthly, effective next month.
Regional dynamics shifted as reports emerged that Iran had urged Hezbollah not to intervene during the recent twelve-day war. Trump indicated he would consider bombing Iran again over nuclear enrichment, while Lebanese media speculated about internal warfare within Iran's regime. By evening, Bassil criticized the government's inability to control weapons or implement reforms.
