Continued Israeli attacks and violations of existing
understandings are obstructing the deployment of Lebanese troops in the south,
the Lebanese army said on Sunday.
The army accused Israeli forces of carrying out systematic
destruction of homes, bulldozing property, shelling several southern areas, and
using machine-gun fire across southern Lebanon. It also said Israeli troops
confiscated rubble in border areas, destroyed a water facility belonging to the
National Litani River Authority, and burned centuries-old olive trees and large
agricultural lands, most recently on the outskirts of Aitaroun, in Bint Jbeil
district.
Israeli forces also opened fire near military positions in
Kfartebnit, Nabatieh Al-Fawqa, and Zawtar Al-Gharbiyeh, disrupting the
operations.
Despite the incidents, the army said it continues to
facilitate residents’ return to Zawtar Al-Gharbiyeh and is carrying out
security missions there, as well as in Froun and Srifa, in coordination with
the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon (MCG4L), alongside its broader
operations across southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told
Fox News that discussions on a Lebanon agreement represent significant progress
and demonstrate that Hezbollah’s ability to “intimidate the Lebanese government
has greatly diminished.”
“We will see what happens regarding the Lebanese army’s
ability to control the areas we are clearing,” Netanyahu said, referring to
territories where Israeli forces have been conducting military operations.
