An official Lebanese source: there are "positive indications" regarding the ceasefire — but we have not yet received an update about it.

The building in Bint Jbeil where Roi Klein and his seven fellow soldiers fell 20 years ago has been destroyed.

The Chief of Staff declares in southern Lebanon: “The entire area up to the Litani River will be turned into a destruction zone.”

From the Chief of Staff: “We have dealt a severe blow to the Iranian terror regime. Now we must not allow them to gain achievements on the nuclear issue, in Hormuz, or on any of the other matters on the agenda.”

The representative of the Attorney General is prepared for the following compromise:

Until agreements are reached between the minister and the prime minister with the Attorney General, the High Court of Justice will issue the following interim orders:

No appointments will be made to senior sensitive positions with influence over areas related to investigations and law enforcement, freedom of expression and protest, and legal counsel.

The police will be prohibited from involving the minister in operational activity or in friction with citizens.

Police officers will be prohibited from maintaining direct contact with the minister except in the presence of the Commissioner of Police.

The minister will be prohibited from making statements regarding the use of police force, including in matters of ongoing investigations.

Attorney Peter immediately stated that this is not a compromise, but a dismissal notice.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“Our forces continue to strike Hezbollah; we are on the verge of defeating Bint Jbeil. At the same time, I instructed the IDF yesterday to continue reinforcing the security zone.

Our American friends are keeping us constantly updated on the contacts with Iran. Our objectives are identical. In anticipation of the possibility that fighting will resume, we are prepared for any scenario.”

Joint statement by Prime Minister Netanyahu and his adviser, Ofer Golan
===============

The Prime Minister’s adviser, Ofer Golan, informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of his decision to conclude his tenure as spokesman and adviser, a position he has held for the past decade.

Prime Minister Netanyahu:
“Over the years, Ofer has been a true partner along the way, acting with great professionalism and dedication, with full commitment and sound judgment. He made a significant contribution through wise counsel and clear thinking.”

Ofer Golan:
“I am concluding my role with immense appreciation for the Prime Minister and with a burning belief in him and his mission. I have witnessed up close his extraordinary ability to skillfully navigate between desires, constraints, and needs, while uncompromisingly safeguarding the good of the country and its citizens — and to deliver exceptional achievements. I have seen how the Prime Minister leads the country with deep reverence, and I have watched in awe as, through sheer strength of spirit, he initiates historic moves that have shaped, strengthened, and fortified the State of Israel — and, in fact, have redefined it.

“With a heart full of appreciation, I wish to personally thank the Prime Minister’s wife, Mrs. Sara Netanyahu, and the entire family, for a decade of shared and intensive work. I was privileged to receive full trust, exceptional closeness, and warm regard, all of which became an inseparable part of my professional and personal path.

I thank the Netanyahu family for their trust and the privilege of accompanying them and standing by their side even in the most challenging moments over the years, with a deep sense of true partnership.”
