An Egyptian official informed Al Arabi TV that Cairo will host talks on Sunday to decide whether to launch the second phase of the Gaza Agreement or extend the current phase. This development comes amid an atmosphere of heightened regional tensions.

In a statement that stands out amid the issues at hand, a comment was made regarding Lebanon, emphasizing that the Mediterranean Sea remains the only neighbor they trust and maintain positive relations with. This remark adds an unusual twist to the broader political landscape.

On the ground, an Al-Akhbar correspondent reported that while covering events near the Al-Jardah site on the outskirts of Al-Dhahira, armed forces fired at him and his team. The situation escalated as a plane released a sound bomb, further complicating an already volatile environment.

Further complicating the security situation, reports indicate that at least one person was killed in an Israeli drone attack on a car traveling on the Hermel-Qasr road in the Bekaa region. This incident underscores the sustained level of conflict within the area.

In addition to these events, there is an anticipated prisoner exchange set for tonight around 11 pm Gaza time, where more than 600 Palestinian prisoners are expected to be swapped for the remains of four Israelis held in Gaza. This exchange reflects the deep-seated hostilities and the intricate human cost of the ongoing conflict.

Finally, a declaration of support emerged from a commentator who expressed willingness to stand with the Syrian government and its people should they choose to resist the current Israeli incursion. However, it appears that so far, no concrete plans for resistance have been put forward by those affected.
