Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a scheduled testimony to meet with Tom Barak on the second, with the agenda covering growing friction in Syria and the threat of a combat operation in Lebanon, according to Israeli journalist Amit Segal during the 2-hour-30-minute reporting window ending at 7:16 PM UTC on December 13, 2025. Amit Segal reported the cancellation reason centers on the high-level security meeting amid regional tensions. No further details on the testimony or exact timing of the meeting emerged from official statements in sources during the period from 4:46:25 PM to 7:16:40 PM UTC. This development occurs against earlier actions on December 13 in southern Lebanon, where the IDF allowed Lebanese Army access to a building in Yanouh at coordinates 33.25775, 35.30510 following an evacuation warning for Hezbollah infrastructure, as stated by IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee between 4:17 PM and 4:46 PM UTC. LBCI News reported the Lebanese Army excavation found a support wall with a hole filled with rubble but no weapons. The IDF maintained monitoring to prevent Hezbollah repositioning, per Adraee's X post. No strikes, further entries, or official updates on Yanouh appeared in sources throughout the reporting window, consistent with prior reports from December 13.
