Israel enhances military presence in Lebanon
The Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli army is continuing to expand its military presence in southern Lebanon by building new bases and constructing logistical roads within the areas it controls. This is part of its readiness to stay there for a long period despite diplomatic efforts at de-escalation. During the war, the army seized approximately 600 square kilometers within Lebanese territory and established at least seven military bases, implementing infrastructure projects using heavy machinery. Satellite images indicate widespread destruction in the towns of Al Khiyam and Maroun al-Ras, where new bases have been built on the ruins of destroyed buildings. Although an agreement mediated by the United States has been signed, stipulating the return of Lebanese sovereignty over the territory in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah, Israel insists on maintaining a security zone inside Lebanon. Hezbollah has rejected the agreement, describing it as serving Israel’s interests, while indirect negotiations between the two parties continue.
