19.05.2025Day Hezbollah Quietly Withdraws North of Litani
Municipal election results dominated the morning news, with governing coalition victories in Beirut and Bekaa, while traditional parties outperformed civil society movements.

By evening, Israeli forces claimed to have killed a Hezbollah Radwan Force member in southern Lebanon, while Netanyahu declared Israel would "take control of all" Gaza Strip territories.
