Israeli violations continued in southern Lebanon on Wednesday as the Lebanese army’s deployment in the town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh entered its second day under phase one of a framework formula agreement, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported.
Israeli artillery intermittently shelled Ali al-Taher hill on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, while an Israeli drone carried out a strike on the town, the agency said.
An Israeli force advanced to the outskirts of Burj al-Muluk on the main road linking Tall al-Nahhas to the town, where troops raided a man’s home, searched it, confiscated his passport after checking his phone, and interrogated him before withdrawing towards Tall al-Nahhas, the agency also reported.
Another Israeli force also entered the border town of Sarbin, coinciding with bursts of heavy machine-gun fire in the area, the agency said.
Israeli forces carried out overnight explosions in the towns of Baraachit and Hadatha in southern Lebanon, the agency added.
