Israeli attack carried out near Lebanese observation post being constructed in the Marjayoun area, Lebanese army says.
Lebanon’s army blamed Israel for carrying out an attack near an observation post it is installing in the southern border area and commanded its forces to fire back.
The military said the attack occurred on Tuesday in the Marjayoun area as a low-altitude Israeli drone flew overhead issuing threats aimed at getting Lebanese personnel to leave.
“The army command issued orders to reinforce the post, remain there, and return fire,” Lebanon’s army said in a post on X. It did not say how the attack was carried out.
Israel’s military has regularly carried out assaults in southern Lebanon and continues to occupy five positions there despite a November 2024 ceasefire meant to end hostilities with Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on Tuesday’s incident.
