Le Drian meets Hezbollah's Raad, both support UNIFIL mandate renewal
by Naharnet Newsdesk 6 hours French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian met Wednesday with Hezbollah lawmaker Mohammad Raad in Haret Hreik. Le Drian also met on Tuesday and Wednesday with President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil, Kataeb leader Sami Gemayel, and former PSP leader Walid Jumblat. Le Drian and Raad discussed the repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement reached in late November. They both said they supported the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). As Le Drian visited Lebanon, United Nations peacekeepers said rock-throwing individuals confronted them during a patrol in south Lebanon, calling repeated targeting of their troops "unacceptable". Lebanese leaders, including Aoun, Salam, and Berri condemned the attacks on UNIFIL patrols. Israel also struck south Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday, killing three people. Le Drian said France is working on organizing a conference for the reconstruction of war-hit Lebanese regions and renewing the UNIFIL's mandate, as Raad said his party is keen on discussing reforms in parliament.

Lebanese Army inspects building in Dahieh
by Naharnet Newsdesk 4 hours The Lebanese Army headed Thursday to Beirut's southern suburbs to inspect a building at the request of the five-member committee supervising the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, media reports said. On Wednesday, Army forces bulldozed the site of a building they had searched Tuesday at the request of the committee in the densely populated Sainte-Therese street in Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs. The building had been targeted by an Israeli strike during the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. On Friday, Israel warned that it would keep up its strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, after it struck four locations in Dahieh on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The Lebanese army condemned the airstrikes, warning that such attacks are weakening the role of Lebanon's armed forces that might eventually suspend cooperation with the committee monitoring the truce that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war. It said it had tried to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations after they were sent.
