Hezbollah on Wednesday released a video showing footage captured by the group’s drones over the Ramat David base in northern Israel.
Hezbollah had released in June a video showing sensitive military and economic sites in Israel's northern strategic city of Haifa and published another video earlier this month captured over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

UNIFIL Force Commander and Head of Mission Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lázaro visited Israel ten days ago to meet with Israeli generals and some foreign ambassadors on an “exploratory visit,” following a similar visit at the end of last winter, a media report published Wednesday said.

Kataeb leader Sami Gemayel has criticized Hezbollah for putting Lebanon at the mercy of Hamas and Israel and for trying to influence the presidential file.
Gemayel said in a televised interview on Tuesday night that Hezbollah has failed to impose its hegemony over the presidential file because the opposition, including the Free Patriotic Movement, rallied against it.

The Free Patriotic Movement is "open to everyone", its leader Jebran Bassil said during a dinner ceremony Tuesday.
"We are open to everyone to end the presidential void," Bassil said, adding that he is determined to continue his efforts to end the crisis in Lebanon through dialogue and consultations.

Israeli drones raided Wednesday Kfakila while artillery shelled Kfarshouba, Houla, and the outskirts of Kfar Hamam, and warplanes broke the sound barrier over Nabatieh and Iqlim al-Toffah.
Israeli jets had raided late Tuesday the southern town of Shihine, targeting the Amal-affiliated Islamic Risala Scout Association. No casualties were reported.

The German government on Wednesday banned a Hamburg-based organization accused of promoting the Iranian leadership's ideology and supporting Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group, as police raided 53 properties around the country.
The ban on the Islamic Center Hamburg, or IZH, and its various suborganizations elsewhere in Germany followed searches in November. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said material gathered in the investigation "confirmed the serious suspicions to such a degree that we ordered the ban today."

The Kataeb party criticized Hezbollah Tuesday for "storing weapons between houses".
"Hiding weapons between houses does not support Gaza," al-Kataeb said in a statement, mentioning a strike on "an ammunition depot" in Adloun in south Lebanon.

Hezbollah has repeatedly said that it will stop its attacks if Israel halts its war with Hamas in Gaza. If that happens, both Israel and Hezbollah have “signaled to interlocutors that they would be prepared to begin negotiations for a formal truce,” three Western officials briefed on the sides’ positions and an Israeli official told the New York Times.
“Those negotiations would focus on the withdrawal of Hezbollah fighters from the southernmost areas of Lebanon and the deployment of more soldiers from Lebanon’s official military,” the officials said.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has proposed a package deal involving both the presidency and the premiership, a media report said.

The Free Patriotic Movement’s leadership has so far failed to convince the Progressive Socialist Party and the National Moderation Bloc to “form a centrist force that would exert pressure in the presidential file,” a media report said.
“FPM chief MP Jebran Bassil believes that unifying the initiatives and efforts of the three parties would change the current presidential situation,” Asharq al-Awsat newspaper has reported.
