The Lebanese Armed Forces announced a planned controlled demolition of unexploded ordnance in the Beqaa valley town of Sahmar. The operation, reported by security analyst Yair Goldblatt, is part of routine clearance of munitions left from previous rounds of conflict. The army has not specified the type or quantity of ordnance or the exact timing. The Beqaa region is a Hezbollah stronghold, and the Lebanese army occasionally conducts such operations following Israeli airstrikes or combat in the area. However, the announcement does not specify the source of the UXO. This is a separate operation from IDF-controlled demolitions in southern Lebanon, which The Zioneer has covered previously.
