Lebanese Army reinforces southern position after Israeli raid
Shafaq News- Beirut
An Israeli force approached a Lebanese Army position in the southern town of Deir Mimas and threw stun grenades around the area, the Lebanese Army said on Friday.
The Israeli force moved toward the Lebanese position, prompting Lebanese troops to reinforce their deployment at the site. It later withdrew following contacts through the US-chaired Mechanism Committee, a body overseeing the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that took effect in November 2024.
“Lebanese soldiers subsequently returned to their position,” the Army added, noting that the temporary post was established on Sept. 10 in coordination with the Committee to accompany southern residents as they inspected their agricultural land.
