The redeployment comes as Israeli warplanes stepped up airstrikes across Lebanon, hitting Beirut’s southern suburbs along with several locations in the south and east of the country.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry previously recorded 486 deaths from Israeli strikes between March 2 and March 9. Medical sources later told Shafaq News that the toll has risen to around 570 after heavy bombardment during the past 48 hours in Beirut’s southern suburbs and southern Lebanon.
