29.05.2026The Day of the Pentagon Talks and the Fall of Debin

On May 29, editors tracked two parallel narratives: the start of Lebanese-Israeli military negotiations at the Pentagon and Israel's ground advance into Debin. Morning headlines reported tanks entering Debin and a fire belt around Nabatieh, while Kataeb and Lebanon Files detailed the fall of the town. By midday, focus shifted to Washington, where Hezbollah figures opposed disarmament and President Aoun pressed US Secretary Rubio for a ceasefire. Afternoon coverage highlighted drones over Beirut and a Pentagon proposal for army entry into the southern suburbs. By evening, Israeli forces advanced toward Beaufort Castle, and Iranian sources conditioned any US deal on halting the war in Lebanon. The day's arc moved from battlefield escalation to diplomatic maneuvering, with Debin's fall serving as leverage.
