ENTRY WOUND unfolds as Ryan Eid’s exploration of a fragile space where presence and erasure coexist, and where identity forms as a means of survival rather than an expression of freedom.

Emerging from rural, marginalized and militarized contexts, his subjects stand before the viewer with hardened gestures and quiet defiance, their bodies shaped by accumulated pressures and inherited histories.

Two soldiers were killed on Tuesday night in a clash between the army and wanted drug dealers in the Sharawneh neighborhood of Baalbek.

Three other soldiers were wounded during the clashes and the wanted drug dealer, who fired at the army, was killed.

One person was killed Wednesday in an Israeli strike on a car in the southern town of al-Tiri.

Eleven other were wounded in the strike, the health ministry said, as a school bus with students on board was passing near the targeted car.

President Joseph Aoun said that Hezbollah's military wing has ended and that all the group wants now is a "decent" end. The President had many times called for dialogue with Hezbollah and has been known to have a soft approach to the group's disarmament.

"They come to me knowing this (that they have ended militarily) but they are keen on securing an honorable end and a decent exit. This is exactly what we are striving to achieve, away from populist speeches prevailing in the country ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections," Aoun told Tuesday the Asas Media news portal, although he later expressed his commitment to disarm the group and expand the state's authority to all of Lebanon.

An Israeli drone targeted Tuesday a car in the southern town of Bint Jbeil, killing one person.

The national News Agency said the strike killed Ali Sheaito, who works at the Union of Municipalities of Bint Jbeil.

A scheduled visit of Army chief Rodolphe Haykal to the U.S. was cancelled amid tensions between the army and Washington.

Media reports said some of Haykal's meetings were cancelled, prompting him to cancel the visit.

Government and business leaders and investors, mainly from Arab nations, gathered Tuesday at the Beirut Seaside Arena in an investor conference organized by the Lebanese government.

The conference brings together the private sector, the Lebanese diaspora, and international partners, as the country tries to rebuild itself after an unprecedented economic crisis and a war with Israel that did not completely stop despite a ceasefire reached in November last year.

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday warned against what he called “surrendering” the country to Israel.

“Those saying the resistance is a problem because it's not surrendering accept that the country be surrendered to Israel, whereas we do not accept that,” said Qassem in a televised speech marking the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah spokesman and senior official Mohammad Afif.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri denied Israeli claims that Hezbollah is rebuilding its military capabilities, hinting that Lebanese politicians are behind these claims.

"Those who are claiming this are the same ones making sure that no Iranian plane lands in Beirut and strictly surveilling the Lebanese-Syrian border," Berri told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Monday.

Speaker Nabih Berri’s political aide MP Ali Hassan Khalil has visited Tehran for talks with a number of senior Iranian officials.

Khalil met with Iranian Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani, Shoura Council Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
