Hezbollah would support a strong, just and sovereign state, Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said Wednesday, calling on the state to start taking its war and peace decisions.

"What is the state waiting for?" Fadlallah asked. "The enemy is known, our land is occupied, and the attacks from the south to the east are ongoing." He added that Hezbollah does not want war but wants the state to liberate the land and stop the Israeli violations, as it has vowed to do, "whether through diplomacy or any other means."

A new Central Bank governor will be named before the end of March to “secure the continuity of work at the bank,” Finance Minister Yassine Jaber has confirmed.

The Israeli army fired machine guns Wednesday from the Israeli post of al-Assi in northern Israel toward two areas in the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal, which was largely destroyed during the latest war between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon’s National News Agency said.

President Joseph Aoun told the extraordinary Arab League summit in Cairo that Israel is still occupying Lebanese land and incarcerating Lebanese detainees.

Lebanese official media said two people were wounded Wednesday when Israeli drones struck a vehicle in the south, a day after a deadly raid and despite an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.

"Israeli drones carried out more than one strike on a vehicle in Ras al-Naqoura, near a rubbish dump" south of a United Nations peacekeeping position, the National News Agency (NNA) said.

There is a "quiet understanding" between Lebanon, Israel and the U.S. that Israel's presence in south Lebanon will continue for several weeks or months "until the Lebanese army stabilizes the situation in southern Lebanon and ensures Hezbollah is no longer a threat," Axios said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has approved an exception to expend $95 million of foreign military funding to Lebanon's army, according to the American news website, which quoted a U.S. official as saying that Joseph Aoun's presidency is "a historic opportunity to change the reality in Lebanon for the better."

The upcoming municipal elections will be held in four phases starting May 4, Interior Minister Ahmad al-Hajjar said on Tuesday.

War-hit Lebanon will not accept to receive aid for its reconstruction under political or military conditions, including the disarmament of Hezbollah, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said.

Amal leader and Hezbollah's ally Berri told ad-Diyar newspaper, in remarks published Tuesday, that the country's reconstruction must be a national priority and that Lebanon is seeking international support without relinquishing its sovereign rights or making concessions that could affect its national principles.

An Israeli drone strike on a car killed one person in the Tyre district town of Reshknanay on Tuesday, reportedly a senior Hezbollah Radwan Force commander, the latest such raid amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
