U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack said Monday he was satisfied by the Lebanese authorities' response to a request to disarm Hezbollah, which was heavily weakened in a recent war with Israel.

"I'm unbelievably satisfied with the response," Barrack, Washington's ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, told a press conference after meeting President Joseph Aoun in Baabda.

The Israeli army launched a series of airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Sunday evening, including in the area around the eastern city of Baalbek and in Iqlim al-Tuffah, a mountainous region overlooking large parts of southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said in speech broadcast Sunday to mark Ashoura’s last day that his group will “continue the resistance” and “will not be part of legitimizing occupation in Lebanon.”

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy has visited Lebanon as part of a regional tour, reiterating the UK's "ongoing support for Lebanon's security, stability and future prosperity," the British embassy said.

The Foreign Secretary met with President Joseph Aoun at the Presidential Palace and discussions focused on the latest local and regional developments and UK-Lebanon bilateral relations.

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack on Saturday called on Lebanese leaders to seize what he called a "historic moment" to achieve reforms and the disarmament of armed groups, days before his second visit to the country to receive Lebanon's response to a U.S.-proposed paper.

The ongoing Arab contacts for finalizing Lebanon's response to the U.S. paper intensified over the past hours and involved Iran, a diplomatic source told Al-Jadeed TV on Saturday.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Saturday ordered authorities to arrest several gunmen who had paraded Friday with their rifles at a Ashoura rally in Beirut's Zokak al-Blat area.

In a post on the X platform, Salam said armed parades in Beirut are "unacceptable in any way and under any justification."

One person was killed and five people were wounded in three Israeli drone strikes in Lebanon's south on Saturday, the Health Ministry said.

A strike on a car in Bint Jbeil "killed one person and wounded two others," the ministry said in a statement carried by the official National News Agency (NNA), noting the toll was provisional.

President Joseph Aoun on Friday denied the reports about the alleged entry of armed groups from Syria into Lebanon and the reports about mobilization for incursions from Syria.

The French foreign ministry said Friday that Paris is communicating with Washington over Lebanon and that “the November agreement must be implemented with all its stipulations.”
