31.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Israel Detonated Shaqif's Tunnels
⌨
Editors led with Israel's detonation of Hezbollah tunnels near Shaqif Castle using 700 tons of explosives, a story that dominated from the evening prior through the entire day. Kataeb, MTV, and Janoubia first reported the blasts, with Al-Manar and Naharnet following. The Ministry of Culture's mid-morning statement that the UNESCO-listed castle remained intact became a secondary angle, echoed by LBC and Lebanon Files. President Aoun's condemnation of the detonations as a 'dangerous escalation' ahead of Rome talks shaped the afternoon narrative, covered by Kataeb, MTV, and Addiyar. Hezbollah's criticism of state inaction appeared on Al-Manar. Two other stories competed for attention: the arrest of former central bank governor Riad Salameh at Bhannès hospital (L'Orient-Le Jour, MTV, Kataeb) and Hamas's agreement to disarm in exchange for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza (Kataeb, Janoubia, Naharnet). Regional tensions persisted with Iran striking tankers in Hormuz and US troop reductions in Kuwait.
