Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati called Tuesday on the international community to stop Israel's agressions and to work on peaceful solutions for the region.

"In order for this region to know peace and prosperity, Israeli aggressions against southern Lebanon and Gaza must stop [...] and Israel must be compelled to implement international resolutions, especially Resolution 1701," Mikati said, adding that "Israel must also withdraw from all the Lebanese territories that are still occupied."

The head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, noted Tuesday that Hezbollah is “still committed to accuracy in the deterrence equations it has imposed on the Israeli enemy.”

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri is open to a presidential initiative by the National Moderation bloc.

"Their initiative is clear - there is no ambiguity,” Berri told al-Joumhouria, in remarks published Tuesday, adding that he has expressed "positivity" towards it.

A “positive atmosphere” engulfed the meeting that Speaker Nabih Berri held Monday with U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein, informed sources said.

Hezbollah targeted Tuesday Kiryat Shmona and carried out four other attacks on northern Israel, while Israeli artillery shelled in response the Marjayoun plain and al-Wazzani.

Hezbollah said it targeted Kiryat Shmona "in response to the Israeli attacks on southern villages and civilians, especially on Bint Jbeil."

Three paramedics affiliated with Hezbollah were killed in an Israeli strike on south Lebanon Monday, the group said, later announcing retaliatory fire, amid escalating cross-border hostilities during the Israel-Hamas war.

Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging near-daily fire since the day after the Israel-Hamas war erupted in October, raising fears all-out conflict could spread across the region.

U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein said Monday that a diplomatic solution is key to ending nearly five months of intensifying hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.

Hezbollah's deputy chief Naim Qassem reiterated Monday that the group, which says it is acting support of Gazans and Hamas, would stop its attacks on Israel once the Gaza offensive ends.

Violence on the Israel-Lebanon border began a day after Hamas's October 7 attack that triggered the ongoing war in Gaza.

Hezbollah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Monday said that Hezbollah will continue its military operations against the Israeli army “in support of Gaza and to protect our people and country.”

Israeli medics said one foreign worker was killed Monday and at least seven wounded in a missile strike near the Lebanese border, the latest casualties in months of cross-border fire.

An anti-tank missile hit "foreign workers who were working in a plantation", killing one man and wounding at least seven others, including two in serious condition, the Magen David Adom emergency response service said in a statement.
