Israeli military vehicles have pushed from the village of Haddatha towards the eastern edge of Aita al-Jabal village in south Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil district, Al Jazeera cites Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.

The advance on Tuesday is accompanied by machine gun fire sweeping Aita al-Jabal’s eastern outskirts, NNA has said.

The vehicles then pulled back to Haddatha, where they took up a position on a hill overlooking the village.

The incursion is the latest in a series of Israeli movements around Bint Jbeil, a border district that has seen repeated ground activity and shelling despite a fragile ceasefire.
