Lebanese Army Commences Troop Deployment in Border Town of Naqoura Following Israeli Withdrawal
On Monday, the Israeli Army Command issued a statement confirming the deployment of its military units in the Naqoura border area.
The Israeli Army Command stated on Monday that its military units have commenced deployment in the border town of Naqoura, located in southern Lebanon, following the withdrawal of Zionist occupation forces.
The deployment was orchestrated in coordination with UNIFIL forces and aligned with the convening of the five-member ceasefire monitoring committee in Ras al-Naqoura. This event occurred with the presence of a senior advisor to U.S. President Joe Biden, Amos Hochstein. Simultaneously, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the town was reported, according to a post by LA on the X platform.
In the upcoming phase, the deployment will be finalized, with specialized units set to carry out an engineering survey of the town to clear unexploded ordnance, according to the statement. Consequently, the army command has urged residents to avoid the area and comply with the military units’ instructions until the deployment is completed.
The Lebanese Army, through its official Twitter account, announced developments on January 6, 2025.
In a coordinated operation, search and rescue teams from the General Directorate of Civil Defense, in conjunction with the Lebanese Army, successfully recovered the bodies of seven individuals from various neighborhoods in the town of Khiyam. The recovery efforts, taking place in the ongoing fourth week following the Israeli assault on the area, resulted in the retrieval of five bodies from the Al-Saha neighborhood, one from Al-Ain, and one from Al-Houma. All seven bodies were subsequently transported to Marjeyoun Governmental Hospital.
In a development along the South Lebanon border, Israeli forces have reportedly demolished residences in the town of Aitaroun.
