Beirut, March 03 (QNA) - Israeli occupation forces advanced hundreds of meters into southern Lebanon today, a military source told Qatar News Agency (QNA).

The same source confirmed that the Lebanese Army has redeployed to several of its forward positions along the frontline border area with the occupied Palestinian territories, and moved to other points in southern Lebanon due to the Israeli escalation.

He explained to QNA that the redeployment took place at points established during the past two months as part of the Lebanese army's plan to reinforce its deployment in the south of the country.

The developments come amid a state of cautious anticipation along the entire border line, given the continued violations and field escalation. (QNA)
