Lebanese Army Tightens Grip on Hezbollah Border

Lebanese Army Expands Presence Along Israel Border, Discovers Hezbollah Tunnels and WeaponsThe Lebanese army is bolstering its presence along the border with Israel, a region previously off-limits, following a ceasefire with Hezbollah a year ago. Nearly ten thousand troops are now deployed, closing smuggling routes and dealing with unexploded ordnance. The army has discovered seventy-four tunnels, one hundred seventy-five rocket launchers, and fifty-eight missiles since strengthening its efforts. One tunnel, nearly one hundred meters long, contained a medical clinic, ventilation, power cables, water tanks, and large amounts of canned food. Despite Hezbollahs claims of no longer having an armed presence close to the border, the armys discoveries suggest otherwise. Meanwhile, Israel continues with almost daily airstrikes, resulting in civilian casualties. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
