The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported on Saturday that Israeli forces carried out provocative actions in the southern Lebanese region of al-Labbouneh. According to UNIFIL, a bulldozer belonging to the Israeli occupation destroyed a blue barrel used to mark the withdrawal line in the area.

In a statement, UNIFIL added that the same bulldozer also demolished a Lebanese Army watchtower located near a UNIFIL site.

The peacekeeping force condemned the deliberate destruction by the Israeli military, describing it as a "blatant violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and international law."

Earlier in the day, Israeli forces advanced into new areas in the western sector of southern Lebanon. Exploiting the ceasefire agreement, they conducted bulldozing operations and demolished Lebanese homes with explosives.

UNIFIL has called for all parties to exercise restraint and adhere to UNSC Resolution 1701 to avoid further escalation.

On Thursday, the Lebanese Army entered Naqoura to reposition its forces, following the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the area. This marked the third such Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied during the recent ground invasion.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that Israeli invading units were observed withdrawing from Naqoura’s neighborhoods towards Ras Naqoura and Alma al-Shaab while conducting sweeps with automatic rifles. At the same time, Israeli Merkava tanks continued to shell several homes in the area.

Our correspondent also noted that an Israeli military convoy, reinforced with eight Merkava tanks, a bulldozer, and Hummer vehicles, advanced from the town of Ramieh towards al-Salhani, al-Qawzah, and reached Wadi Mazlam near the outskirts of Beit Lif—territory that had not been accessed during the recent Israeli war on Lebanon.

However, Israeli soldiers conducted searches of homes and surrounding forests, and machine gun fire was heard within the village. Additionally, Israeli drones launched two missiles at the outskirts of Yater.
