The day opened with President Aoun's accusation of betrayal against Hezbollah, echoed by Speaker Berri questioning the ceasefire's absence. By mid-morning, US Secretary Rubio declared Hezbollah at war with the Lebanese state, not just Israel, and stated the Lebanese army lacks full capacity to handle Hezbollah threats. Israeli strikes continued, destroying over 1,000 Hezbollah infrastructures, while Hezbollah retaliated with drone attacks. In the afternoon, a Netanyahu-Trump call resulted in Trump pressuring Netanyahu for a limited response. An Israeli official warned of a major Hezbollah surprise, and the amnesty law discussions excluded collaboration with the enemy. The day's editorial focus was the deepening rift between the state and Hezbollah, with Rubio's statement marking a clear US position.
