⌨The newspapers report on escalating military operations in Syria, with a second phase of operations beginning in rural and mountainous areas (Al Joumhouria). Tensions flared in Tripoli, Lebanon, where the army intervened to restore calm after reports of a Syrian being stabbed nearly sparked sectarian violence (Janoubia, Naharnet). Coverage continues on Israel's ongoing operations in the West Bank, including raids, arrests, and intensifying siege (Al-Manar). The political impasse in Lebanon remains unresolved, with continuing political confrontation (Lebanon24) and calls for a "reconciliation conference" to strengthen internal unity (Kataeb).
