The outlet said diplomatic moves by President of the Republic Joseph Aoun in Rome aim to compel Israel to implement the provisions of the framework equation, in the face of ongoing Israeli violations in several southern areas.

It added that the Lebanese Army continues to strengthen its presence in southern Lebanon by taking over military sites that had been occupied by United Nations forces in the area whose mission in Lebanon ends later this year.

Mont Karlo ad-Dawliyya described raids that targeted the Tal Al-Tahir elevation and the surroundings of Tal Al-Dibsha and Duhat Kfarhamra, with explosive material dropped on the elevated areas and houses booby-trapped between Mays al-Jabal and Shuqra.
