Israeli army forces withdrew today from Bani Hayyan, two days after invading, and retreated towards Markaba following bulldozing and detonations of houses and roads.
The Bani Hayyan Municipality stated yesterday that they lost contact with an elderly woman who was inside the town during the Israeli forces’ incursion, leaving her fate unknown.
UNIFIL and the Lebanese Army deployed today along the Litani River valleys between Deir Siryan, Alman, al-Qusayr, Yohmor al-Shaqif, and Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, based on recommendations from the ceasefire supervision committee.
Reports say the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL will set up checkpoints and fixed points at the southern Litani sector entrances and along the Litani River from Marjayoun to al-Qasmiyeh.
