Lebanese security forces have begun a large-scale operation to ensure that senior figures and officers of Syria’s former regime are not present on Lebanese soil, aiming to prevent the country from becoming a platform for threats against Syria’s security and stability. The case is being overseen directly by Tarek Mitri, Lebanon’s Deputy Prime Minister, who is responsible for managing Lebanon–Syria relations. Mitri seeks to reassure Damascus of Beirut’s respect for its neighbor’s sovereignty and stability through security and political measures.

This report examines the gradual pivot of Joseph Aoun in confronting Zionist assaults—a transformation that has evolved from a cautious stance into a more proactive policy.

Recent developments show that escalating Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, coupled with the ineffectiveness of Lebanon’s change in representation level at the ceasefire committee, have further complicated the political and security landscape.

On November 6, Hezbollah’s Public Relations Office issued an official statement addressed to the President, Prime Minister, Speaker of Parliament, and the people of Lebanon, warning against Israeli aggressions and making its position clear.

Another ceasefire violation by Israel: Israeli drones this morning targeted a civilian car on the al-Bissariyeh road south of Sidon. At least one person was killed in this attack.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported: Israeli intelligence assessments indicate that Hezbollah, after suffering heavy losses in recent attacks, is rebuilding its military capabilities and organizational structure, particularly in areas north of the Litani River—an action that Tel Aviv describes as a “violation of the ceasefire” following the 2006 war.

Israeli drone attacks against Lebanon persist, with the latest incidents occurring today. A civilian vehicle near the town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon and another in Nabi Sheet, located in the Beqaa Valley in southeastern Lebanon, were targeted.

An Israeli drone targeted a civilian vehicle on the Qlaileh–Khirbet Selm road in southern Lebanon on October 11, resulting in the death of one Lebanese citizen. This attack marks a clear breach of the newly agreed ceasefire.
