Lebanese Army denies conducting reconnaissance flights over Syria
The Lebanese Army denied, in a statement on Sunday, reports that it conducted reconnaissance flights over Syria to monitor possible military movements at the border. Online information circulating in recent days claimed that 'gangs' threatened to enter Lebanon and kidnap Lebanese soldiers, and reported that the army had flown over Syria to monitor these movements. 'Some media outlets and websites reported that the Lebanese Air Force is violating Syrian airspace in order to monitor military movements on the Syrian side in the border areas, in response to threats from armed Syrian groups to enter Lebanon and carry out security operations there. Army command clarifies that this information is entirely false,' the statement said. 'Military units are monitoring the situation along the border and taking the necessary measures to control and secure it,' noting contacts and coordination with the Syrian authorities 'to follow developments in the situation.' After the rumors about Syrian groups, Gebran Bassil, head of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), who has made opposing the new Syrian regime his latest cause, wrote on X that 'Lebanon is surrounded by extremist religious regimes, one wants a 'Greater Israel' and the other a 'Greater Syria.'' 'Our neighbors covet our land and others covet our decisions,' he added, expressing his desire for a 'Greater Lebanon, moderate and diverse.' Reports have circulated regularly, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, about alleged Syrian ambitions to seize Lebanese territory, but these have been denied. At the end of March, the Lebanese and Syrian defense ministers met in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and agreed to strengthen security and military coordination along their shared border, which is 330 kilometers long, known to be porous, and where various trafficking activities are common. They also signed an agreement in principle to demarcate the border. On April 14, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam traveled to Damascus, where he met the new Syrian president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, to discuss, among other things, border security. In February and March, sporadic clashes took place between clans, reportedly close to Hezbollah, and the new Syrian authorities near border towns.

For the first time, S&P upgrades Lebanon's sovereign debt rating
Standard & Poor's Global Ratings last week raised Lebanon's long-term credit rating in Lebanese liras from 'CC' to 'CCC,' while keeping a stable outlook and affirming its rating on foreign currency debt (eurobonds) at 'SD,' or selective default. This is the first time S&P upgrades its assessment of Lebanese sovereign debt, though the move applies only to Treasury bills. The government resumed coupon payments on Treasury bills in 2024 after halting them in 2021. Budget surpluses and reforms S&P said the upgrade reflected the government's growing ability to service debt in local currency, supported 'by budget surpluses over the past two years' and some progress on reforms required for a new International Monetary Fund program. The surpluses stem largely from the state's failure to fully restore public sector wages eroded by the lira's devaluation, the suspension of payments on dollar debt since March 2020, and deep cuts to public investment. On the reform front, Parliament passed a law in April amending banking secrecy rules to meet international standards, followed by a bank resolution law over the summer. Still, Lebanon must do more to persuade the IMF to grant conditional financial assistance. S&P said major hurdles remain and it does not expect significant progress on debt restructuring before legislative elections in May 2026, five years after Lebanon's eurobond default. The agency added that the fragile cease-fire reached last November between Israel and Hezbollah continues to cloud recovery prospects. S&P forecasts modest average growth of 2.3 percent in 2025 and 2026. It expects net public debt to fall to 113 percent of GDP by the end of 2025, down from about 240 percent in 2022, helped by improved fiscal performance, exchange rate stabilization and strong nominal GDP growth driven by inflation. The agency also projects that Lebanon's current account deficit will remain large but narrow to an average of 18 percent of GDP in the coming years, from 23 percent in 2023 and 2024. Lebanon's eurobonds — dollar-denominated debt securities — rose 11 percent last week, closing at 19.75 cents on the dollar Wednesday, their highest level in two years.

Gaza civil defense says Israeli attacks kill 18
Gaza's civil defense agency said Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 18 Palestinians on Sunday, including seven people shot dead while waiting to collect food aid. Civil defense spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal told AFP that seven people were killed in an Israeli drone strike that hit a hospital courtyard in Gaza City, in the territory's north. Witnesses said the victims were members of a Hamas unit, which a source from the Palestinian militant group described as responsible for distributing aid and "fighting thieves." There was no comment from the Israeli military, which is preparing a broader offensive in Gaza City and has sent ground forces to the city's Zeitoun neighborhood in recent days. After more than 22 months of war, U.N.-backed experts have warned of widespread famine unfolding in Gaza, where Israel has drastically curtailed the amount of humanitarian aid it allows in and convoys have been repeatedly looted. Witnesses on Sunday reported Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip overnight and into the morning. Bassal said four people were killed in a strike that hit a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in the southern area of Khan Younis. The civil defense spokesperson said Israel continues its intense bombardment of Gaza City's Zeitoun, where troops have carried out a ground operation for the past week. He said there were many casualties, but civil defense crews were facing "enormous difficulties reaching those trapped under the rubble" due to the ongoing violence and lack of equipment. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties accessing swaths of the Palestinian territory mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defense agency or the Israeli military. Israel on Saturday hinted at an approaching call to push civilians from Gaza City ahead of the new offensive demanded by the security cabinet. A defence ministry statement said that "as part of the preparations to move the population from combat zones to the southern Gaza Strip for their protection, the supply of tents and shelter equipment to Gaza will resume." Hamas later slammed the move, saying the announcement was part of a "brutal assault to occupy Gaza City." On the ground on Sunday, Bassal said six people were killed by Israeli gunfire near an aid distribution point in the south. Another person was killed near an aid site in central Gaza, Bassal added, with a nearby hospital saying the body had been taken there. The war was triggered by Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's offensive has killed more than 61,897 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to figures from the Health Ministry in Gaza, which the United Nations considers reliable.
