United Nations forces are preparing to leave southern Lebanon as Israeli Occupation forces continue to consolidate their control over villages devastated by the war that began in early March 2026.

Lebanon’s new amnesty law has drawn accusations that it was tailored to benefit certain groups, potentially paving the way for around 3,000 former members of Antoine Lahad’s Army, branded traitors, for serving under Israeli Occupation command.

Over the years, Israeli Occupation authorities have accumulated a large number of Palestinian bodies and remains, initially as part of a policy that tied their detention to cases involving captives, missing people, and captive exchange deals.

Iran commemorated the anniversary of Khamenei's death with week-long funeral and mourning ceremonies in five cities across Iran and Iraq, with millions of mourners participating.

As the ceasefire in Lebanon shows signs of holding, Western and Hebrew media report that the Israeli military is considering a limited, largely symbolic withdrawal from several towns in southern Lebanon, pulling back to the so-called "Yellow Line" it established in April 2026.
