The mayor of the Lebanese town of Froun has contradicted a statement issued by the Lebanese army where it said it had retaken southern towns from Israeli control, Al Jazeera reports.
Hassan Bazzi told Al Jazeera that the Lebanese army has not yet begun deploying in the town of Zawtar al-Gharbiya, because Israeli forces are yet to withdraw from the outskirts of the town.
“This is just talk. There have been no new developments in the town of Froun. The situation remains unchanged,” he said.
