Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that the army was ready to be deployed south if there was a ceasefire, adding that the military has tightened the security of Beirut's airport in a bid to remove justifications for an Israeli attack.
In remarks made to AFP, Mikati said that such a plan to put more soldiers in the south would happen if there was a ceasefire.
Dozens of people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip as Israel continues its operations in north Gaza, trapping 400,000 civilians in a tight siege.
Ten people were killed in attacks on Khan Younis, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa, which also reported that six civilians were killed in airstrikes on Nuseirat refugee camp, and at least 10 killed in airstrikes across Gaza City.
The strikes on Gaza come as Israel continues its ground invasion of southern Lebanon, with Lebanon's NNA reporting that the Israeli air force struck areas in western Bekaa and Hermel, as well as a hospital in the city of Baalbek.
Israel is also considering when to strike Iran in retaliation for Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel on 1 October, with the Washington Post reporting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US President Joe Biden that an attack would focus on military facilities rather than nuclear or oil facilities.
Israel's war on Gaza has killed 42,344 people and injured a further 99,013, while its bombardment of Lebanon has killed 2,309 people and injured a further 10,782.
