In response to escalating conflict in the region, Lebanon's Prime Minister has expressed willingness to deploy the army south of the Litani River and fully implement UN Resolution 1701. Mikati has called for a ceasefire and negotiations with Israel, emphasizing that there is no alternative path. He hopes to avoid war, even as Hezbollah's leader signals readiness to continue fighting. Amid these tensions, the Lebanese army has pulled back from border positions and has been evacuating some posts per UN requests. At the same time, Israeli forces have been carrying out airstrikes in the area, with reports of civilian casualties in Syria from Israeli strikes. The situation remains fluid as Lebanon prepares for a presidential election session contingent on a ceasefire.
