Lebanon's Christian Lebanese Forces party is taking security precautions over fears of a Hezbollah attack, Kan News reports.

Foreign Minister Youssef Reji, the party's most hawkish anti-Hezbollah figure and the man who tried to expel Iran's ambassador, confirmed he has stopped coming to the Foreign Ministry in Beirut over security warnings. The ministry sits in an area where Hezbollah can operate.

Former Lebanese military court official Peter Germanos says Western intel points to party leader Samir Geagea as first on Iran's assassination list, with Reji second. The party's annual memorial in Maarab today was moved indoors over fears of a drone attack.

Lebanese FM Youssef Rajji has been sidelined from direct talks with Israel over his hardline stance on Hezbollah, a Beirut political source told Kann. The leadership "does not want to irritate the terrorist organization too much" ahead of negotiations resuming tomorrow.

Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea: "Whoever seeks to build a state of institutions cannot keep the foreign minister out of the picture."
