The day Israel confirmed Abu Ubaida's death

The day's headlines were dominated by the unfolding story of Hamas spokesperson Abu Ubaida. Reports in the morning raised questions about his fate, culminating in Israel's official announcement of his assassination in the early afternoon, with further details revealed throughout the day. Concurrently, Speaker Berri continued to emphasize the urgency of national dialogue to address the issue of weapons, stating that "demonic minds" pose a greater threat to Lebanon than resistance arms, and rejecting placing the burden on the army. This echoed previous days' discussions on arms control. Israeli airstrikes in South Lebanon persisted, alongside ongoing progress in the Palestinian weapons handover from camps, and discussions around a new Trump plan for Gaza.
