Hezbollah, Drug Bust, Political Tensions

Hezbollah demands return of seized explosives as Lebanon charges 13 operatives, per JPost. The group insists the confiscation violates Lebanese law and calls for immediate release of detained members.

Lebanon seizes 40kg of cocaine in Beirut airport's largest ever drug bust, Bloomberg reports. Officials say the shipment was hidden in luggage and linked to international trafficking networks.

Palestinians in Lebanon suffer worsened conditions due to high energy prices and inflation, Al Jazeera notes. The economic downturn has led to increased hardship for refugee communities in war-hit areas.

Flight THY1JZ is climbing out of Beirut at 3,675 ft, heading southwest, per live tracking data.
