Hezbollah to respond today to Lebanese amendments to US paper
Hezbollah will on Thursday inform Speaker Nabih Berri of its final response to the Lebanese amendments related to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's paper, Al-Jadeed TV reported.
'The joint presidential committee will convene again today after receiving the official answer, in order to discuss it and finalize the official Lebanese response,' Al-Jadeed added.
The TV network revealed that Berri had met Tuesday with a Hezbollah envoy who relayed 'half an answer' consisting of a host of remarks.
'Berri's representative Ali Hamdan relayed them to the presidential committee and were discussed in a meeting on Tuesday, while the official answer will follow today,' Al-Jadeed added.
It also reported that Saudi envoy Prince Yazid bin Farhan has arrived in Beirut on a several-day visit and would also meet with Barrack when he visits Lebanon on July 7-8.
'Hezbollah will ask for guarantees regarding Israel's withdrawal,' Al-Jadeed said.
MTV meanwhile reported that the Lebanese response 'will include reassurances for the Lebanese as to all files and concerns.'
'The ideas of Aoun, Berri and Salam are identical as to the response paper, which represents a historic chance to provide stability for Lebanon for the next 50 years,' MTV added.

Wave of Israeli airstrikes target south Lebanon
by Naharnet Newsdesk 04 July 2025, 11:55 A series of Israeli airstrikes targeted Thursday areas in south Lebanon between Yahmor al-Shqif and Deir Seryan, and the outskirts of Zawtar el-Sharqiyeh and other areas in the Jezzine region. The Israeli army said it struck "military sites, including weapons depots, military structures, and terrorist infrastructure" of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Their presence and activities in the area constitute, according to Israel, a "flagrant violation" of the ceasefire agreement, which came into effect on November 27 to end over a year of hostilities. Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues to carry out strikes on Lebanon almost daily, claiming to target Hezbollah. An Israeli strike on a vehicle at the southern entrance of Beirut earlier on Thursday killed one man and wounded three other people, as the Israeli army said it hit a "terrorist" working for Iran.

by Naharnet Newsdesk 04 July 2025, 12:04 Hezbollah members and supporters held a funeral Thursday in Beirut's southern suburbs for the former bodyguard and head of security of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the group's longtime leader. Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike in south Beirut last year, while his former bodyguard Abou Ali Khalil was killed in Iran during last month's Israel-Iran war, along with his son Mahdi. Abou Ali Khalil, better known as Abou Ali Jawad, was killed after he went to Iran from neighboring Iraq. For many years, he was seen behind Nasrallah during most of his public appearances. After Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstike in September, his bodyguard was put in charge of his tomb in Beirut.
