Additionally, an Israeli patrol opened fire on a Lebanese army center in Birket al-Naqqar, south of the town of Shebaa, but no casualties were reported.
The occupation forces are also reportedly working to block part of the main road linking the towns of Adaisseh and Kfar Kila.
They have been conducting a combing operation using machine guns from the Israeli “radar” site on the outskirts of Shebaa, firing toward the homes in the area.
In the city of Nabatieh, Israeli drones have been flying at low altitudes since the morning, with heavy activity over the towns of Doueir, Jebchit, Sharqiya, Ansar, Aba, Harouf, Toul, Namiriya, and Kfour, according to the National News Agency.

A statement was issued by the Lebanese presidency yesterday, Tuesday, underlining the “necessity of a complete Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon,” in accordance with the agreement signed between Lebanon and “Israel,” which came into effect on November 26, 2024.
This statement followed a meeting between Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. The statement reiterated Lebanon’s full commitment to Resolution 1701, despite repeated Israeli violations.
On Tuesday morning, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from all border villages in south Lebanon, except for five locations where they had declared they would remain.
