Beirut: Lebanese soldiers on Monday removed a flag of the Israeli army's Golani Brigade from a hilltop position at Roueisat al-Hadeb, on the outskirts of the southern town of Aita al-Shaab in Bint Jbeil district, a Lebanese security source said. The army unit also dismantled earthen barricades and cleared landmines that had been placed by Israeli forces in the area, the source added.
According to Jordan News Agency, Lebanese troops subsequently reinforced their presence near the Khallat Warde area, west of Aita al-Shaab, amid heightened border tensions.
