The Lebanese army has redeployed soldiers from several recently established border positions following the Israeli army’s “escalation”, a military source told AFP.
The troops “numbering in total eight to nine soldiers at each point, were redeployed to their bases because of the danger to their safety”, the Lebanese military said.
The move comes after Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said Tuesday he had authorised his military to “take control of additional strategic positions in Lebanon”.
