Lebanese army takes control of border village after Israeli retreat

The Lebanese army has completed its deployment in Kfarchouba, a village on Lebanon’s border with the occupied Golan Heights, following Israel’s withdrawal.

The move comes after a ceasefire agreement in November, which reaffirmed UN Security Council resolution 1701, ending the 2006 conflict and mandating the Lebanese military to be the sole armed presence at the border.

The Lebanese army has urged locals to avoid areas where Israeli forces recently retreated until their troops can secure roads and clear unexploded ordnance.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military continued its attacks in nearby villages, particularly southwest of Kfarchouba, with reports confirming the destruction of at least three homes in the Christian-majority village of Deir Mimas.
