Israeli troops enter southern Lebanon: Report
Israeli ground forces have entered an area near Meiss el-Jabal in the Marjayoun district, according to a news report.
The Israeli Army Radio’s report added that the soldiers advanced a few hundred metres into the territory, without giving further details.
The United Nations says more than 70 civilians have been killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon since a ceasefire was struck at the end of last year.
Israel has continued to strike Lebanon, including attacks on the capital, Beirut, since a November 27 ceasefire, which largely halted more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the armed group Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war.
‘We want a real peace’ with Israel: Lebanon PM
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam says Lebanon will consider bilateral ties with Israel if an agreement leads to “real peace”.
“We are a peace-seeking nation, but we want a real peace. Israel is occupying territories that belong to our country,” he was quoted as telling Sky News Arabia by Lebanese and Israeli media.
Of weapons in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, Salam said: “What’s dangerous about the camps’ arms is that they may lead to an inter-Palestinian strife.”
