Dozens of Palestinians gathered Tuesday in front of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency headquarters in Beirut after several countries decided to suspend funding for the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency.

A number of key donors -- including the United States, Germany and Japan -- had announced they are suspending funding to the agency over Israel's accusations that some of its staff were involved in the October 7 Hamas attack.

Hezbollah targeted Tuesday a group of soldiers in the Hadb Yarin post as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israeli troops will "very soon go into action" near the country's northern border with Lebanon.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday held a meeting in Ain el-Tineh with the ambassadors of the member states of the five-nation group for Lebanon, which comprises the U.S., France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt.

The one-hour meeting tackled “the latest developments, especially the presidential juncture,” the National News Agency said.

Hezbollah on Tuesday denied a media report about future border talks with Israel, stressing that such negotiations are the responsibility of the Lebanese state.

“The Nidaa al-Watan newspaper today published a fabricated and insulting report about what it called the file of indirect negotiations over the land border between Lebanon and occupied Palestine,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

Israeli strikes in Syria on Monday killed eight people, including pro-Iran fighters, a war monitor said, in the latest such attack in the country against groups loyal to Tehran.

Israeli troops will "very soon go into action" near the country's northern border with Lebanon, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, as tensions surge amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Lisa Johnson has stressed that no member state of the five-nation group for Lebanon should carry out any initiative or move without prior coordination with the other members of the group, in an apparent reference to Qatar, informed sources said.

Johnson voiced her remarks during the latest meeting of the group’s ambassadors that was held at the residence of the Saudi envoy in Yarze, the sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Monday.

U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein is supposed to visit Lebanon in the coming period, carrying “some answers,” after he recently visited Paris and discussed the files of south Lebanon and a possible political settlement.

“In Paris, the French presented a proposal to Hochstein calling for the formation a four-party committee comprising the U.S., France, Israel and Lebanon, which would engage in negotiations aimed at ending the current disputes,” Kuwait’s al-Jarida newspaper reported.

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein has said that he “will likely head back soon” to Lebanon and Israel as part of the efforts to prevent a bigger conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

“But I think we, this is something we do every day, not just when we're in the region. We do this also when we're here,” Hochstein added, in an interview on CBS News.

Two Israeli soldiers were wounded Monday in a Hezbollah attack on a post in northern Israel.
