07.01.2026 โ‡ข The Day of the Israeli Offense Green Light
โŒจOn January 7, 2026, Lebanese media shifted focus from localized strikes to the anticipation of a broader Israeli military campaign. Morning headlines reported a sharp escalation in the 'fire belt' around the south, specifically highlighting deadly drone strikes in Kfar Dunin and Jwayya. Pro-Hezbollah and centrist outlets alike framed these as a deliberate expansion of theater intended to pressure the Lebanese government ahead of critical security decisions.
By mid-day, editorial attention balanced between internal financial reformsโ€”notably American praise for the 'gap law'โ€”and the visit of UN Peacekeeping chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix. However, the narrative took a darker turn in the evening as Janoubia and other outlets reported that Benjamin Netanyahu had secured a 'green light' from the Trump administration for a full-scale offensive. Editors ended the day monitoring both the mobilization of Hezbollah and the government's attempts to coordinate a unified stance before the expiration of various security deadlines.
