Israeli troops have infiltrated a Lebanese village placed under the control of Lebanon’s army as part of a June agreement and built an earthen barrier overnight, AFP reports citing Lebanese state media and the local mayor.
“An Israeli occupation army force advanced into the village of Zawtar al-Gharbiya shortly after midnight … and erected a new earthen barrier near the town square,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reports on Saturday.
An AFP correspondent has seen the barrier, built at the village’s eastern entrance. Local authorities say it is unclear if any Israeli forces remain in the area.
