One killed in Israeli airstrike on al-Khiam, southern Lebanon
Concurrently, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the attack involved two missiles launched by an Israeli drone targeting the vicinity of al-Khiam, escalating tensions along the southern Lebanese border.
This comes just one day after one Lebanese citizen was killed, and five others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the village of Nmairiyeh in South Lebanon.
An Israeli drone reportedly struck a vehicle moving between Namiriyeh and al-Sharqiya in the south of Lebanon with more than one missile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent noted.
Another drone strike targeted a moving vehicle in the southern Lebanese village of Yater as well.
Our correspondent in South Lebanon reported on Friday that an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a pick-up vehicle before it detonated in the border village of Kfar Kila, while another drone dropped a bomb on the al-Dhahira village.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent also revealed that an Israeli infantry force invaded the southern border and detonated a single room built 800 meters into Lebanese territory.
One person was martyred on Thursday and two others were wounded after an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle in the town of al-Mansouri, in the Tyre District, South Lebanon, according to a statement by the country's Ministry of Health.
An Israeli drone also struck commercial shops in Yuhmur al-Shaqif, a southern town in Lebanon's Nabatieh District, firing two missiles at the area.
This comes as Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire, persisting in their attacks by targeting villages and towns in South Lebanon and the Bekaa region, as well as the Southern Suburb of Beirut, while still occupying five strategic points in the south.

Detained aid boat activists launch hunger strike
More than a dozen activists being held by Israel after their aid boat was intercepted en route to Gaza launched a hunger strike on Monday to protest their detention, according to a local NGO assisting them. At least five of the 21 passengers of the Freedom Flotilla vessel Handala have agreed to be summarily deported after the boat was stopped and boarded by the Israeli navy while attempting to break a military blockade of the war-ravaged Palestinian territory. The legal aid group Adalah said that on Monday afternoon, "hearings concluded at Givon Prison, concerning the continued detention of the 14 volunteers who (...) refused to consent to an expedited deportation process". "During the hearings, the volunteers stressed that their mission was humanitarian — motivated by the need to act against Israel's illegal siege and the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza," the group said in a statement. One U.S. activist reported "severe physical violence by Israeli forces", while others described being held in poor conditions, Adalah said. "The activists told the tribunal that they remain on an open hunger strike in protest of their unlawful detention," it added. It later said the tribunal had "upheld the continued detention of the 14 volunteers". Israel has been treating their cases as immigration violations, which Adalah maintains is illegal, saying they were brought into the country against their will from international waters. The Handala's 21 passengers hailed from 10 countries, and included two French lawmakers and a pair of Al Jazeera journalists. Adalah said at least one of the lawmakers, the two journalists and two other passengers were already on their way out of the country. Two passengers who were Israeli-American dual nationals were released after being interrogated, according to the organisation. A previous boat sent by Freedom Flotilla, the Madleen, was also intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters on June 9. It carried 12 campaigners, including prominent Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The activists were eventually expelled by Israel.

Timing critical as PM Salam plans cabinet session on Hezbollah's armed status
Report by Lara El Hachem, English adaptation by Mariella Succar Prime Minister Nawaf Salam is considering convening a special cabinet session focused on Hezbollah's weapons. He wants the meeting to be productive and lead to concrete results but is still deciding on the right timing. Lebanese officials, including Salam, are awaiting a response from U.S. envoy Tom Barrack regarding a recent proposal delivered in Beirut. Salam is unsure whether to hold the session before or after receiving that response. Although reports say Salam brought a proposal from Paris to Ain al-Tineh suggesting a dedicated ministerial meeting on Hezbollah's arms, sources say he communicated to Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Druze leader Walid Jumblatt that no aid will be provided until the weapons issue is resolved and reforms are completed. Meanwhile, the atmosphere at Baabda Palace indicates that any proposal lacking consensus or thorough preparation will not be put before the cabinet, as Hezbollah interprets the situation. These developments come as U.S. envoy Tom Barrack tied the government's credibility to turning its promises of exclusive state control over arms into real action. He emphasized that both the government and Hezbollah must fully comply to prevent Lebanon from remaining trapped in its current deadlock. Insiders see this as increased pressure on the government to follow through on a roadmap implementing the ceasefire agreement. The government had already committed to the deal during former Prime Minister Najib Mikati's tenure and reaffirmed its commitment in its policy statement, including approval of the army deployment plan. At the same time, sources familiar with recent discussions between Berri and Barrack say that Berri conveyed to the envoy that Lebanon cannot rush the weapons issue, especially as Hezbollah has demonstrated a positive stance and commitment to the ceasefire, maintaining neutrality in the Iran-Israel conflict, and being part of both the executive and legislative branches. Sources also say Barrack communicated Lebanon's position emphasizing the need to halt Israeli attacks before starting serious talks on weapons, expressing surprise at his firm tone on the matter.
