Military confrontation over 'two tents' ruled out

Following vigorous diplomatic efforts, informed sources have ruled out a military confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah over the latest border tensions, Asharq al-Awsat newspaper reported.

In addition to UNIFIL chief Aroldo Lazaro’s meetings with Lebanese officials, U.S. and French diplomats exerted efforts in this regard last week, the daily said.

“Lebanon is proposing a full demarcation of the border and wrapping up this issue, especially that the points of contention are not plenty and are only represented in 16 border points,” the sources added.

And after Israeli media reports said that Hezbollah removed one of the two tents from “Israeli territory,” security sources told Asharq al-Awsat that the allegations are baseless and that both the two tents are still in their place.
