Israeli Army Fortifies Posts Facing Adaisseh to Conceal Movements

The Israeli army on Thursday continued fortifying its posts opposite the southern Lebanese town of Adaisseh in order to conceal the movements of its troops and vehicles, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.

It “cemented and fortified the military posts along the border with Lebanon facing the Adaisseh-Kfarkila road,” NNA said.

“A crane placed cement blocks and walls on the makeshift military road separating the electronic fence and the groves of the Metula settlement,” the agency added.

The measures are aimed at “concealing the movements of the enemy's troops and vehicles,” NNA explained.

The Israeli army also installed “a boom barrier that can be opened and closed when needed amid heavy deployment by its troops who stood guard in the vicinity of the works and in the apple groves.”

The moves were accompanied by intensive overflights by drones and helicopters over the occupied Shebaa Farms and in the nearby Arqoub area villages all the way to Marjeyoun and Hasbaya.

Israeli troops had at dawn fired several flares over the heights of Mount Hermon and over the road that refugees fleeing Syria usually take to reach the Janaam area, east of Shebaa, NNA reported.

In the morning, Israeli vehicles patrolled the border from Miskav Am in the west to Abbasiyeh and Wadi al-Asal in the east, while passing through al-Wazzani, Ghajar, al-Himmari and al-Dahra, the agency said.

On Friday, the Israeli army set up a reconnaissance air balloon near the southern Lebanese town of Mays al-Jabal.

And on September 5, a Hizbullah military expert was killed as an Israeli drone remotely detonated a spy device he was dismantling in the southern coastal town of Adloun.
