Lebanese forces withdraw from a base in the country’s south after renewed Israeli military activity near the border, according to multiple reports. The Lebanese Army pulls back from its barracks in Kfar Tebnit, a village in the southern region. The movement comes as Israel issues evacuation warnings covering around 20 locations, including the southern city of Nabatiyeh and nearby villages, prompting residents to prepare for possible displacement.
While the outlets describe the Lebanese withdrawal as a response to Israeli troop advances in the immediate area, they do not provide detailed information about the size of the Israeli operation or any confirmed combat in the village itself. Courthouse News characterizes the situation as raising fresh tensions, reflecting the broader concern that the exchange of warnings and troop movements could escalate.
All accounts agree on the core sequence: Israeli forces move forward in the area, Israel issues evacuation notices for multiple southern localities, and the Lebanese Army departs from the barracks/base at Kfar Tebnit.
