Beirut: Lebanese newspapers on Monday highlighted the ongoing tensions in the region, focusing on the killing of Hezbollah's Mohammad Afif. This incident marks a significant escalation in the conflict, prompting Nabih Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, to request amendments to a ceasefire proposal from US mediator Amos Hochstein. According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the situation has further complicated Hochstein's mission, with Israeli actions posing a threat to Beirut and potentially impacting the negotiation process.
