Lebanese Army Returns Fire After Israeli Gunfire Near Southern Border

The Lebanese army accused the Israeli military of firing near a position it was establishing in southern Lebanon on Tuesday.

In an official statement, the Lebanese army said it was “establishing a new observation post on the southern border” when the area came under gunfire from Israeli forces.

“The army command issued orders to reinforce the post, remain in position, and return fire,” the statement added.

No details were immediately available on casualties or damage. Tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border remain high, with both sides maintaining a military presence in the area.
