Lebanese media channels reported Saturday morning that IDF forces advanced overnight from the village of Zoutar al-Sharqiya, which remains under Israeli control, toward the village of Zoutar al-Gharbiya. The reports state that Israeli forces established a new artillery battery just 100 meters from Zoutar al-Gharbiya, from which the IDF had previously withdrawn as part of the 'pilot area' agreement with Lebanon. The Zioneer has previously reported on the Zoutar villages as a focal point of the IDF withdrawal pilot program and subsequent Lebanese army deployment. The reports come from Lebanese sources and have not been independently confirmed.
