Tehran wants a regional agreement: Iran refuses a simple ceasefire and demands an end to war also covering Lebanon and Yemen.

The redeployment of the Lebanese army to the South, marked by the departure of Rmeish, revives the debate on state sovereignty in the face of Israeli pressure. Between rumours of coordination via Washington, threat of control to Litani and annexation speech, military withdrawal takes on major political significance

Between 6 p.m. on 31 March and 1 April at 1000 hours on 1 April, Lebanon went through a night of strikes marked by two deadly attacks in Khalde and Jnah, while Naqurah and several southern localities remained under shell, confirming an active escalation on several territorial fronts.

There is a rumour that there would be coordination between the Lebanese army and Israel via Washington, with the United States transmitting instructions prior to Israeli advances in southern Lebanon. This hypothesis finds a favorable ground in very real facts: reported withdrawals from the Lebanese army, especially around Rmeish, growing fear of the inhabitants in the face of possible occupation, and Israeli will to control up to Litani. But at this stage, these elements are not enough to prove a formalised mechanism.

On the eve of April 1, the world no longer offers the conditions of an harmless hoax. Between wars, rumors, videos generated by IA and false alerts, the border between real and false is dangerously blurred. In such a context, the current joke does nothing: it adds noise to an already toxic confusion. This editorial argues for a form of civic restraint, as the audit becomes almost an act of public safety.

In Lebanon, the official record at 7 p.m. puts the humanitarian crisis at the forefront, against the backdrop of bombing, fighting and tensions at the United Nations.

The Lebanese army redeployed its posts to southern Lebanon, while Israel announced its intention to control the area to Litani.

After the death of three UNIFIL peacekeepers in Lebanon, Jean-Luc Mélenchon urged Emmanuel Macron to "retaliate" invoking a "chirac doctrine". Paris remains for the time being on a diplomatic and multilateral line, while the United Nations continues to investigate attacks against the UN mission in South Lebanon.

Netanyahu claims that no ceasefire in Lebanon should be imposed on Israel under an agreement with Iran.

Donald Trump accuses France of blocking a military overflight to Israel as part of the war against Iran. According to Reuters, Paris refused a precise transfer of US weapons. The episode reveals a growing Franco-American crisis on Western alignment, between French diplomatic autonomy and Washington's strategic pressure.

Israel announces a buffer zone to Litani in southern Lebanon, with continued military control, a ban on return for internally displaced persons and the announced destruction of border villages. The statement by Israel Katz marks a major hardening and puts the question of occupation at the centre of the regional crisis.

Four Israeli soldiers were killed in the same incident in South Lebanon, on a front that became central in the escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. This episode highlights the human cost of the Israeli land offensive, as the humanitarian crisis worsens in Lebanon and the fighting continues to intensify.

Lebanon is awakening under extreme pressure between deadly strikes in the South, attacks against UNIFIL, the death of a Lebanese soldier, civilian evacuations and alert diplomacy. In addition to the security crisis, there is a further increase in fuel, a symbol of instability that now affects all levels of the country this Tuesday morning.

Trump said he was open to Arab countries contributing to the cost of the war against Iran, according to the White House.
