Al-Manar TV Lebanon said Israeli media reported a Hezbollah drone found on the roof of a school in Nahariya, continuing a pattern of drone-related incidents described across the northern front.

In a separate development, the القدس العربي reported that Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stressed his country’s commitment to a comprehensive and complete stop to fire and military operations to launch negotiations with Israel.

The القدس العربي also quoted Aoun saying, “There must be pressure on Israel to prevent it from blowing up homes and bulldozing in the villages it occupies in the south,” as it described his call for ceasefire and negotiations covering redeploying the army to the international border, the release of Lebanese prisoners, and the return of the displaced.
