The Lebanese army announced on Tuesday that it had come under fire from the Israeli army while removing earthen barriers erected by the latter in the town of Adaisseh in the Marjayoun district in the south of the country.

It explained via the "X" platform that this shooting occurred despite his coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to remove these earthen barriers.

The army said: "An army unit removed newly constructed earthen barriers that the Israeli enemy had erected in the town of Adaisseh in the Marjeyoun district, and reopened the road leading to one of the town's hills, in coordination with UNIFIL."

The army said that Israeli soldiers opened fire near its personnel to force them to withdraw from the site.

The army did not report any casualties as a result of the shooting or clashes at the scene.

On October 8, 2023, Israel launched an attack on Lebanon, which escalated into a full-scale war on September 23, 2024, resulting in more than 4,000 deaths and approximately 17,000 injuries, in addition to the displacement of approximately 1.4 million people.

Despite a ceasefire agreement in effect since November 27, 2024, Israel continues to target southern Lebanon under the pretext of attacking Hezbollah targets. Israel has committed 1,362 violations of the agreement, leaving at least 117 dead and 362 wounded, according to an Anadolu Agency tally based on official data.

Israel has reneged on its commitment to complete its withdrawal from southern Lebanon by February 18, contrary to the agreement. Instead, it has implemented a partial withdrawal and continues to occupy five major Lebanese hills, within the areas it occupied during the last war.

It has also recently begun establishing a border strip extending one or two kilometers inside Lebanese territory.
