The ‘Israeli’ occupation forces continued on Tuesday their attacks, explosions and various violations of the ceasefire in South Lebanon. Meanwhile, ‘Israeli’ reports indicated that the Zionist Army is planning to keep its occupation of five to seven positions for a longer period.

In this context, a Zionist force, accompanied by a Merkava tank, advanced into the western outskirts of Aita Al-Shaab, raising an earthen berm that blocks the way into Al-Hadab Hill which leads to a Lebanese military outpost, where the Army wanted to redeploy troops after the enemy has withdrawn.

Al-Manar correspondent, Ali Shoeib, indicated that the ‘Israeli’ enemy kept razing lands and executing explosions in Yaroun, Maroun Al-A-Ras, Aitaroun Markaba, Tallousa and Kfarkila.

On the other hand, the ‘Israeli’ media outlets unveiled the Zionist scheme of keeping troops in South Lebanon after the withdrawal deadline of February 18. In this regard, the ‘Israeli’ Channel 14 would not withdraw from five to seven positions.
