11:11⇢Aoun Affirms Arms Monopoly
⌨Lebanese media reports President Aoun's firm stance that the decision for an arms monopoly is final and irreversible, with no current possibility of normalization in Lebanese politics (Al Joumhouria, Kataeb, LBC, LBCI, Naharnet). This echoes ongoing internal debates surrounding Hezbollah's weaponry (Annahar). Concurrently, escalating concerns are noted regarding potential high-level Syrian retaliatory measures against Lebanon, possibly linked to Syrian detainees, with warnings of border closures (Janoubia, L'Orient-Le Jour).
