Lebanon says one killed in Israeli strike on south
Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli strike on the country's south killed one man on Thursday, with Israel saying it struck a member of the Iran-backed Hezbollah.
The attack came despite a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese armed group.
The ministry said an 'Israeli enemy strike' hit a forested area in Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa, killing one man.
The Israeli army said it stuck 'a Hezbollah terrorist' in southern Lebanon, alleging he was working to restore a site used to manage the group's 'fire and defense array.'
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the man was a 'municipal employee' who had been rehabilitating wells when his motorcycle was struck.
Israel has continued to bomb Lebanon despite the November truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of open war.
Under the deal, only UN peacekeepers and the Lebanese army are meant to operate in the south, though Israel maintains a presence in five areas it deems strategic.
Lebanon has urged the international community to pressure Israel to halt its attacks and withdraw its forces.

Syria, Jordan Seek to Restart Historic Hejaz Railway Line
Cooperation between Syria and Jordan in the fields of economy, trade, and transport has taken a significant leap forward since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime late last year, with the latest development marked by an agreement to hold a meeting aimed at reviving the historic Hejaz railway line. The joint Syrian-Jordanian technical committee on land transport concluded a two-day meeting in Amman on Wednesday, focusing on boosting bilateral relations, particularly in land transport, a vital sector supporting trade and people's movement, Syria's state news agency SANA reported. A key topic was linking Damascus and Amman by rail. Both sides agreed to hold a soon-to-be-scheduled technical meeting with relevant authorities to explore the feasibility of reopening the Hejaz railway line, initially for freight transport. The committee also agreed to reduce and unify transit fees to 2 percent in both countries, down from Jordan's previous 5 percent charge. The Jordanian delegation underscored the importance of facilitating the passage of transit trucks across both territories and pledged to remove any technical or procedural obstacles to enhance trade flow and regional economic integration. This renewed cooperation follows years of suspension due to the former Syrian regime's policies. Meanwhile, Syria's General Authority for Land and Sea Borders announced on Wednesday it had reached an agreement with Jordanian authorities to cancel the $115 diesel tax previously imposed on Syrian trucks entering Jordanian territory, making the measure reciprocal. In April, Zahi Khalil, Director-General of the Jordanian Hejaz Railway Foundation, announced plans to launch tourist train trips from Jordan to Syria, passing through historic stations along the border. The proposed route would start at Amman's Hejaz station, pass through Zarqa and Mafraq, cross into Syria via the Jaber border, and terminate at Damascus' Al-Qadam station, the last stop on the Hejaz line. Khalil noted that Syrian counterparts would handle maintenance within Syria, while technical and security challenges, especially line interruptions inside Syria, are still being addressed. The Hejaz railway, built during the reign of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, is a 1,050- mm-wide gauge rail connecting Damascus to Madinah. Constructed between 1900 and 1908 to serve Muslim pilgrims and consolidate Ottoman control, it was operational until World War I, with construction costs initially estimated at 3.5 million Ottoman lira, supplemented by donations from within the empire and other Islamic countries. The line's route follows the traditional pilgrimage path from Syria's Hauran region through Daraa into Jordan, continuing to Madinah, shortening pilgrimage travel time from 40 days by camel to just five days by rail. The surge in Syria-Jordan cooperation in economic, trade, and transport sectors reflects a broader effort to reshape bilateral relations on economic grounds, aiming for sustained long-term collaboration after Assad's fall. In late May, Damascus and Amman inaugurated the 'Higher Coordination Council' following a visit by Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi to Syria, where he met with his Syrian counterpart, Asaad al-Shabaan. This came after Jordan's Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply announced on February 27 the resumption of operations at the Syria-Jordan joint free zone. In early June, Amman's chambers of commerce president Khalil al-Haj al-Tawfiq reported a sharp rise in trade exchange with Syria, driven by economic openness and reconstruction efforts, describing trade figures as unprecedented. Between mid-December 2024 and late May 2025, 55,566 trucks entered Jordan through the Jaber border crossing, including 30,154 Jordanian, 5,768 Syrian, and 19,644 foreign trucks. Outbound trucks totaled 59,788, comprising 21,574 exports and 36,805 transit trucks from other centers, with 1,409 empty trucks. These developments follow a long period of border tension under the previous Syrian regime, when border areas became hubs for smuggling drugs, weapons, and militants. Such activities have declined since the regime's downfall. Abed Fadliya, an economics professor at Damascus University, told Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper that Syrian-Jordanian economic and trade ties have noticeably improved over recent months thanks to joint government efforts. 'Geographically, Jordan is one of Syria's most important neighbors due to its openness and its role as a gateway for Syrian goods and people to most Arab countries, especially the Gulf states with which Syria maintains close cooperation across several sectors, particularly trade and investment,' Fadliya said. He added that Jordan is among the key Arab countries that have distinguished relations with Syria, alongside Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, emphasizing the need for sustained government efforts to cement these ties on a stable political foundation framed by bilateral agreements.

Trump dismisses reports US is weighing up to $30 billion civilian nuclear deal for Iran
US President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed media reports that said his administration had discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program. CNN reported on Thursday and NBC News reported on Friday that the Trump administration in recent days had explored possible economic incentives for Iran in return for its government halting uranium enrichment. The reports cited sources. CNN cited officials as saying that several proposals were floated and were preliminary. 'Who in the Fake News Media is the SleazeBag saying that 'President Trump wants to give Iran $30 Billion to build non-military Nuclear facilities.' Never heard of this ridiculous idea,' Trump wrote on Truth Social late on Friday, calling the reports a 'HOAX.' Since April, Iran and the US have held indirect talks aimed at finding a new diplomatic solution regarding Iran's nuclear program. Tehran says its program is peaceful and Washington says it wants to ensure Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon. Trump, earlier this week, announced a ceasefire between US ally Israel and its regional rival Iran to halt a war that began on June 13 when Israel attacked Iran. The Israel-Iran conflict had raised alarms in a region already on edge since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023. The US struck Iran's nuclear sites over the last weekend and Iran targeted a US base in Qatar on Monday in retaliation, before Trump announced the ceasefire. Israel is the only Middle Eastern country widely believed to have nuclear weapons and said its war against Iran aimed to prevent Tehran from developing its own nuclear weapons. Iran is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while Israel is not. The UN nuclear watchdog, which carries out inspections in Iran, has said it has 'no credible indication' of an active, coordinated weapons program in Iran.

Lebanon to US: Hezbollah Arms Move to North Litani Region if Israel Pulls Back from South
Lebanon has formally proposed a trade-off to the United States: Israel withdraws from Lebanese territory, and in return, Hezbollah will pull its heavy weapons to north of the Litani River, a senior Lebanese official told Asharq Al-Awsat. US officials have been informed that Lebanon cannot meet demands to disarm Hezbollah in the south without reciprocal steps from Israel, including troop withdrawals, a halt to hostilities, and the return of Lebanese prisoners. The official said the country has effectively entered what he called a 'dead-end equation' with Israel over the disarmament of Hezbollah, adding that Lebanon will not be able to act unilaterally without reciprocal steps from Tel Aviv. They likened the situation to the classic 'chicken or egg' dilemma: should Hezbollah pull its weapons first, or should Israel first withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory? Under UN Security Council Resolution 1701, Israel is required to withdraw from all areas south of the Litani River. However, Israel continues to demand that Hezbollah disarm - at least of its heavy weapons - across all of Lebanon. The official told Asharq Al-Awsat that Beirut has formally informed the US administration that reciprocal Israeli concessions, including troop withdrawals, an end to hostilities, and the return of prisoners, could offer a path to resolving the crisis. The official said Lebanon is seeking strong American backing to pressure Israel into action. In return, he added, Lebanon is prepared to take meaningful steps in line with President Joseph Aoun's inaugural address, which emphasized that the state must hold the exclusive right to possess arms. The official revealed that Aoun asked US envoy Tom Barrack to help advance the disarmament process, stressing that any move to withdraw weapons must be preceded by Israeli steps in that direction. According to the source, the Lebanese army has drawn up a detailed action plan and budget, which it presented to US officials. The plan outlines Lebanon's commitments in response to each Israeli measure, whether related to troop withdrawals or other issues. Lebanon believes that Israel's continued military presence and cross-border attacks are preventing the full deployment of Lebanese troops south of the Litani River and hampering efforts to secure the border. The official said Lebanon directly requested US guarantees for these steps in exchange for a commitment to begin withdrawing Hezbollah's weapons north of the river. The source also said that talks between Aoun and Hezbollah, suspended due to the recent Iran-Israel war, are expected to resume. He stressed that Lebanon 'has both the vision and the will' to address Hezbollah's arms nationwide. Aoun has reportedly spoken directly with Hezbollah lawmaker Mohammad Raad, urging the group to hand over its heavy weaponry to the Lebanese army, which would either store or destroy the arms based on national security needs. 'This weaponry has lost its strategic role and usefulness after the recent war in Lebanon,' the source said. 'It is no longer viable for use.' Lebanese leaders are working to finalize a unified position in response to a US proposal delivered by Barrack, ahead of a key meeting on Saturday. According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam have agreed on a draft response, which Salam will present to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. If consensus is reached, the proposal will be submitted to the Cabinet for approval and then delivered to Barrack upon his return to Beirut in less than two weeks. Berri is expected to lead negotiations with Hezbollah on behalf of the Lebanese government. The proposal, dubbed the 'ideas paper,' outlines four key components: A plan for Hezbollah's gradual disarmament. A step-for-step mechanism with Israel, where Israel demands Lebanon take the first move, while Beirut insists that the initial step must come from Israel as the occupying power. A section on economic reforms and Lebanon's cooperation with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. A framework for managing unresolved issues with Syria, including border demarcation and the return of refugees. The US proposal, known as the 'ideas paper,' includes several key elements, foremost among them a plan for the withdrawal of Hezbollah's weapons and Lebanon's strategy to begin the disarmament process. The second point outlines a 'step-for-step' mechanism with Israel. While Israel insists that Lebanon take the first move, Beirut maintains that the initial step must come from Israel, which it regards as the occupying power. The third component addresses Lebanon's economic reform agenda and its cooperation plan with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The fourth and final element focuses on Lebanon's relations with Syria and ways to resolve outstanding bilateral issues between the two countries. Information Minister Paul Morcos said Friday that the government is ready to act immediately if political contacts progress. 'Israel must first withdraw from occupied areas and halt its aggression so that we can fulfill our commitments,' he said.
