On 20th October’2025, Israel launched airstrikes in southern Lebanon and flew drones over Beirut and other areas, raising tensions once again. The Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah, but Lebanon sees this as a serious threat to its sovereignty. Lebanese officials are under pressure from the United States to disarm Hezbollah, but say the Lebanese Army is already working on a plan approved by international partners, despite limited resources and the upcoming withdrawal of UN forces. President Joseph Aoun is calling for indirect talks with Israel, believing that dialogue is better than more war and destruction. He says all sides in Lebanon, including Hezbollah, support negotiations at the right time. The US warned of a possible large Israeli attack if Lebanon does not act, but such action could lead to instability and delay elections.
Pray for the success of the Lebanese authorities to disarm Hezbollah and to take full control over weapons in the country. Pray for true peace and development in Lebanon (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 20:18).
Pray for peace talks between the authorities of Lebanon and Israel to end Israel’s military attacks in Lebanon. Pray for peace and friendly relations between the two countries (The Holy Bible, Proverbs 16:7).
