    POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS
  • Improvements: The general stability observed in most parts of Beirut and Mount Lebanon today indicates that the direct impact of hostilities remains localized to the southern and eastern border regions.
  • Successful Operations: The ISF’s successful arrest of a wanted criminal in Dahieh today demonstrates continued efforts to maintain internal law and order.
