Tension in South Lebanon's Nabatieh following Israeli strikes on surrounding areas
Branches of the Lebanese University, the Lebanese International University, and the American University of Culture and Education, along with public and private schools, closed their doors as a precaution against further security developments.
The hostile airstrikes forced the closure of the road linking Nabatieh with Marjayoun and Khiam, after debris and rocks were scattered across it. Bulldozers from the Kfar Tebnit municipality worked to clear the rubble and reopen the road.
The road between Kfar Tebnit and the Dabche hill was also reopened after one of the airstrikes created a large crater that was filled by a municipal bulldozer.
Civil defense teams worked to extinguish fires that broke out in the forests of Ali Al-Taher due to the airstrikes. They faced difficulties and dangers because of the region's terrain and the presence of suspicious objects left behind by the attack.
In Nabatieh, rumors spread about hostile calls requesting the evacuation of a street in the city. Security agencies later confirmed the claims were false and are working to track down the source of the rumors to detain the person responsible.

US envoy Tom Barrack says Hezbollah's disarmament is an internal issue, rules out Lebanon sanctions
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack ruled out any immediate sanctions on Lebanese officials, saying Washington is focused on restoring stability in the region and supporting ongoing reforms in Beirut. His comments followed a meeting on Monday with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam during his visit to Lebanon. Barrack said the issue of Hezbollah's disarmament is an internal Lebanese matter, adding that while the group remains designated by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization, Washington's current role is to advise, facilitate dialogue, and avoid escalating tensions. 'We cannot force Israel to do anything,' he noted. The envoy explained that his return to Lebanon was driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed interest in achieving regional calm, with Lebanon seen as a key component. He underscored the importance of backing the Lebanese government's reform efforts and maintaining security and institutional stability. Barrack also pointed to the failure of the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel, saying efforts are underway to understand and address its collapse. He contrasted Lebanon's situation with that of Syria, describing the conflict there as catastrophic and stressing that the Syrian government must be held accountable. As for potential military engagement, Barrack made clear that the United States has no intention of deploying more troops to any conflict zones under hostile conditions.
