Burj al-Molouk: An Israeli Merkava tank on Tuesday made a significant advance from southern Lebanon’s Tel Nahas triangle, moving towards the junction between Deir Mimas, Burj al-Molouk, and Kfarkela. This movement brought the tank to a halt at a distance of no less than 200 meters from a Lebanese Army checkpoint situated in the town of Burj al-Molouk.

According to National News Agency – Lebanon, the incident marks a notable escalation in the region, where tensions have been simmering due to ongoing territorial disputes. The presence of the Israeli tank so close to a Lebanese military position underscores the fragile nature of peace and security in the area.

The Lebanese Army has maintained a vigilant presence in Burj al-Molouk, a town considered a sensitive location due to its proximity to the Israeli border.

Local residents have expressed
concern over the potential for further military confrontations, urging for restraint and peaceful dialogue to prevent escalation.
