The Lebanese army is removing from the village of Dibbine in southern Lebanon an Israeli armored personnel carrier rigged with explosives designed for remote detonation, according to Abu Ali Express. The vehicle reportedly did not explode. The incident highlights the ongoing friction along the Israel-Lebanon border, where Israeli forces have been operating in southern Lebanon since the escalation with Hezbollah. The Zioneer has previously reported on IDF activity in the Dibbine area, including the observation of flare rounds in the vicinity and sporadic launches toward Israeli positions. It is not clear when the APC was deployed or how the Lebanese military located it. Dibbine, a Shia-majority village several kilometers north of the Israeli border, has been a focus of Israeli operations in recent weeks.
