Israeli army withdraws from Qantara, Adsheet and Wadi al-Hujeir
The Israeli army withdrew Thursday from the southern areas of Qantara, Adsheet al-Qusayr and Wadi al-Hujeir after it made a several-hour incursion that forced residents to flee and involved the abduction and wounding of a Lebanese UNIFIL employee.
The Lebanese Army said the Israelis retreated after "a series of contacts by the five-party committee overseeing the ceasefire agreement (Mechanism)."
Lebanese troops meanwhile removed sand barriers that the Israeli forces had erected to block one of the roads in Wadi al-Hujeir, the Lebanese Army said, adding that it is following up on the situation in coordination with UNIFIL and the ceasefire committee.
