Lebanon says Israeli troops enter the village of Zawtar al-Gharbiya shortly after midnight and erect a new earth barrier near the town square. Free Malaysia Today and The Hindu both cite local reporting and state that the Israeli force advances into the Lebanese army-held area before installing the barrier.
Both outlets describe the incident as an “infiltration” or advance by Israeli troops into the village, but they do not provide details beyond the timing and the barrier’s location. Neither source attributes responsibility or provides independent verification from Israeli or international officials in the excerpts provided. The focus is on Lebanon’s claim and the immediate physical change reported at the site.
Overall, the two reports align on the key elements: the early-morning timing, the village name, that Israeli troops move into an army-held area, and that an earth barrier is placed near the town square, according to local media reports.
