Israeli troops entered the Lebanese village of Zawtar al-Gharbiya and constructed a new earthen barrier overnight, according to reports. The village, placed under Lebanese control as part of a June agreement, was the site of the barrier, which blocked the eastern entrance and road. The presence of Israeli forces in the area remains unclear.
The Israeli military denied knowledge of such an event in the region. Zawtar al-Gharbiya is one of two pilot zones designated for the Lebanese army to take control, as per a US-sponsored framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Israeli forces maintain a significant presence along the southern border, resulting in over 4,300 fatalities and the displacement of hundreds of thousands since their invasion and bombing campaign.
