  "summary": "Israeli forces shelled the southern Lebanese town of al-Mansouri, setting a house on fire, according to Lebanon's National News Agency.\n\nThere are reports that Lebanon and Israel have agreed on a shortlist of countries that could send troops to verify the disarmament of Hezbollah under a US-brokered agreement. A Lebanese official said the US will now decide which countries to pick from the list, but did not provide further details. According to Reuters, cited by Jerusalem Post and Al-Monitor, Israel and the US had vetoed France.\n\nThe disarmament of Hezbollah is a priority for Israel, as reported by Le Monde English, which also noted that Beirut failed to secure a genuine ceasefire or progress on Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory.",
