PIJ spokesperson killed in strike • European, Middle East officials condemn strikes • Netanyahu: Nothing will prevent Israel from achieving its war objectives

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said he ordered the army to respond to sources of fire from northern and eastern borders with Syria.

The Syrian government is also trying to deal with the fallout of clashes in Latakia in which numerous civilians were killed by extremists.

The Syrian army has clashed with Hezbollah several times since the overthrow of the Assad regime.

Majed Faraj’s visit was reportedly a preparatory visit to Abbas’s visit, which is expected to occur next week.

Six months ago, peace between Israel and Lebanon seemed impossible. Now, border talks could pave the way for a historic agreement. Is a breakthrough near?

The army said the soldier was returned through the International Committee of the Red Cross and was transferred to a hospital for treatment.

"Just as Lebanon has claims regarding the borders, so do we. We will discuss these matters," an Israeli political source stated.

With more clout in the Trump White House, the Saudis could position themselves to be game changers in the region. 

A political source told N12: "The discussions with Lebanon are part of a broad and comprehensive plan."
