Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected a U.S.-brokered security agreement between Lebanon and Israel on Saturday a day after it was signed, describing it as a surrender to Israel.
In the latest example of ongoing hostilities despite repeated ceasefires and agreements, Israel launched a drone strike in Lebanon’s south.
More than a million Lebanese have been driven from their homes by a conflict that has run in parallel with the wider Iran war.
Hezbollah and Iran say Washington pledged to end hostilities in Lebanon as part of its memorandum of understanding signed two weeks ago to end the wider war.
The framework agreed on Friday provides for a phased Israeli withdrawal from some parts of southern Lebanon, alongside the deployment of the Lebanese army. But Israeli forces would be permitted to remain in an expanded security zone for the time being, pending further implementation.
In a statement, Qassem called it “null and void”, and accused the Lebanese government of making unilateral concessions and undermining Lebanon’s sovereignty.
He criticised provisions linking Israel’s withdrawal to Hezbollah’s disarmament, saying they effectively legitimized Israel’s military presence and crossed “all red lines”.
The group would continue its armed resistance, he added: “We did not leave the battlefield in the most difficult circumstances, and we will not leave it.”
Lebanon’s state news agency said an Israeli drone struck Nabatieh al-Fawqa on Saturday. The area is outside the security zone shown on a map published by Israel of the territory its troops will continue to control.
The Israeli military told Reuters it had carried out the strike, using a drone because it had no troops in the immediate area. It said it targeted an individual who posed a threat to its forces, without giving further details or evidence.
Qassem said the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding reached earlier this month, which guarantees Lebanon’s territorial integrity, should serve as the basis for ending the conflict, rather than Friday’s Washington agreement.
The ruling reversed a decision by the state’s elections office that had found Dan J. Sullivan was ineligible to challenge Dan S. Sullivan, an incumbent senator.

Prince William has offered up an personal message on the heels of a very significant charity appearance – at a time where a major milestone trip for his younger brother, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle, with their children, is very much on the radar. This follows the much-reported plans that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two young children will descend on the United Kingdom next month – with the royal kiddos in tow.
Prince William Marks Major Milestone With Lifesaving Charity On William’s official social media accounts with Kensington Palace, Prince William wrote a message about his attendance at an event to celebrate a significant milestone event in his charitable pursuits.
“Delighted to attend the Welsh Air Ambulance’s 25th Anniversary Gala Dinner this evening to celebrate a quarter of a century of this lifesaving service, and the dedicated crews who deliver critical care on the frontline every day,” William posted.
For obvious reasons, Prince William’s work with air ambulance service is incredibly close to his heart as he is himself a former pilot. The celebration event acknowledged 25 years that the life-saving medical service has been operating in Wales.
Kids to Make UK Debut Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly finalized their travel plans to the UK, and not only is their return the talk of the town, so is their decision to finally bring Prince Archie, 3, and Princess Lilibet, 1, with them! As it stands, Harry and Meghan, along with the young Prince and Princess, plan to jet over to Britain in early June to attend a series of engagements on behalf of the Birmingham 2027 Invictus Games and several of Prince Harry’s other U.K.-based charity projects.
If reports about travel to The Sun are true, this would be the very first trip the young Prince and Princess will take to their father’s homeland – and not only that, but Meghan Markle will too! – since 2022’s Platinum Jubilee celebration for the Queen.
Furthermore, Prince Harry will reportedly take his mother, Princess Diana’s ashes, on a private trip for the late princess’s close family to take part in a ceremony to honor her. She was born on the 1st of July.
Although it’s likely the trip has a heavy family focus, it is thought that the young Prince and Princess of Wales will be coming along for the visit; sources close to the Sussex’s are convinced the pair have also recently finalized their travel plans to visit Britain with kids.
However, the kids are not anticipated to participate in any publicly televised charity work, although this could be a good step toward reconciliation!
