After the Zionist enemy completed its withdrawal from South Lebanon on February 18, 2025, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement in addition to the extended withdrawal timeline, it kept occupation forces in five locations in South Lebanon.

The fascist enemy claimed that the five positions are aimed at securing the Zionist settlements close to the borders with Lebanon. However, the Zionist Colony circles considered that the five posts may be a source of fear for the Zionists because of the expected Hezbollah attacks.

Zionist war chief Katz said on Thursday that Zionist occupation forces were “staying indefinitely” in a buffer zone on the border with Lebanon, adding their deployment there was “situation-dependent.”

Katz use of “buffer zone” does not match with mere five occupation posts. Thus, Al-Manar reporter Ali Shoeib inspected the border area in order to uncover the aspects of the Zionist remarks.

Al-Manar reporter identified swathes of Lebanese territories off the Zionist settlements of Misgav Am, Margaliot and Al-Metula controlled by the enemy through placing earthen barriers and constructing or scraping roads.

The reporter located Hounin valley, outskirts of Adaisseh and Kfarkila, and west of Hamames Hills in Khiam barrens. It is worth noting that there are residential buildings in some of the Zionist Colony-held territories.

Accordingly, Katz remarks about the “buffer zone” is much more than mere five posts. It is a major aggression that requires a Lebanese official move to liberate the occupied territories.
