16:34⇢Ayrouniyah Targeting Sparks Assassination Reports
⌨The current Lebanese media landscape is dominated by reports of an Israeli targeting of a car in northern Lebanon, specifically in Ayrouniyah (Al Joumhouria, Janoubia, Kataeb). Sources describe it as an assassination attempt, with one explicitly stating the victim was a Hamas official, suggesting an expansion of Israeli operations (Kataeb). Concurrently, the Bank of Lebanon has issued a directive mandating the acceptance of all US dollar banknotes, regardless of age (LBC, LBCI). US envoy Barrack's visit to Beirut also remains a topic, described as "cold diplomacy" (Lebanon24, El Nashra).
