Reported Israeli Threats Against Lebanese Army Forces Near Deir Mimas
Summary

IRNA, citing Lebanese media, reports that Israeli forces threatened Lebanese Army personnel near Deir Mimas and used stun grenades while advancing near a Lebanese military site. The report also describes strikes and troop movements elsewhere in southern Lebanon and political consultations among Lebanese leaders. Independent confirmation is not provided.

According to a report by Iran’s IRNA citing Lebanese media, Israeli forces warned Lebanese Army personnel to leave the outskirts of Deir Mimas in southern Lebanon or face attack. The report says the warning came as Israeli troops advanced toward the area near a newly established Lebanese Army site and threw more than five stun grenades at Lebanese personnel.

The same report, citing Lebanon’s National News Agency, says Israeli shelling of the Shaqra area in the Bint Jbeil district wounded two people, who were transferred to Tebnine Governmental Hospital. It also reports overnight illumination activity and movements by Israeli military vehicles near several southern Lebanese towns, followed by artillery and mortar fire against additional locations, including Al-Mansouri, Majdal Zoun and Wadi al-Azziya.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam reportedly discussed the situation in southern Lebanon, along with Lebanon’s international diplomatic contacts, preparations for a forthcoming United Nations General Assembly session and a planned meeting in Washington on Lebanon’s situation.

The source frames the reported incidents as part of continuing Israeli military activity in southern Lebanon. However, the supplied evidence consists of a single IRNA report and does not include independent confirmation from the Israeli military, the Lebanese Army, hospitals or international monitoring bodies. The source also contains retrospective claims about a broader conflict, displacement figures and a framework agreement whose dates and details cannot be verified from the material provided.
