Israeli jets struck a hangar in Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday after the Israeli army issued a warning about an hour earlier, marking the third Israeli strike on the area since a ceasefire took effect in late November.

A huge plume of smoke billowed over the area after the strike. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli drone strike on a border town Sunday killed one person, the latest attack despite a ceasefire that ended a war between Israel and Hezbollah militants.

The leaders of the two biggest Christian parties have both called for the state's monopoly on weapons after Hezbollah was left badly weakened by more than a year of hostilities with Israel.

"We've been missing a real state for 35 years," Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, a harsh critic of Hezbollah, said Saturday, calling for the state to have monopoly on arms and to be the sole decision maker in the country.

The issue of Hezbollah’s arms is “present on the table of indirect dialogue between President Joseph Aoun and Hezbollah’s leadership” and Speaker Nabih Berri is following up on the matter, the PSP’s al-Anbaa news portal quoted “credible sources” as saying.

Former prime minister Hassan Diab appeared Friday before Judge Tarek Bitar for interrogation in the case of the 2020 catastrophic blast at Beirut’s port.

Diab arrived from abroad for the questioning and he reportedly met with Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan, who “advised” him to appear before Bitar in order not to be accused of obstructing the investigation.

President Joseph Aoun stressed Friday that “diplomacy is the only solution” for ending Israel’s occupation of parts of south Lebanon.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Hezbollah will not hand over its weapons before Israel fulfills its ceasefire agreement obligations.

The World Bank will grant Lebanon a $250 million loan that will be used to help ease electricity cuts in the crisis-hit country, the country's finance ministry said.

Lebanon has faced major electricity problems for decades, but the situation became worse following an economic meltdown that began in late 2019. The 14-month Israel-Hebzollah war that ended in late November also badly damaged electricity and other infrastructure in parts of Lebanon.

Lebanese official media said eight people were wounded in a drone attack in a border village, as Syria said it responded to artillery fire from Lebanon.

Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani provided "clarifications" to Lebanese officials regarding his latest remarks on "disarmament," Iran's embassy said, after he was summoned by the Lebanese Foreign Ministry over perceived interference in Lebanese affairs.

Amani noted that his statements on X were "general... and applied to all countries without exception, including Iran," the embassy added.
