Lebanese reports say the army will deploy in the coming hours in the villages of Zoutar al-Gharbiya and Frun in southern Lebanon, under direct supervision of CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper, who is expected to arrive in Lebanon from Israel. The deployment is described as a first test phase of the security arrangement with Israel, as The Zioneer reported on an earlier bulletin at 07:48 today.
The Lebanese army is preparing to deploy in two southern Lebanese villages — Zoutar al-Gharbiya (Zoutar al-Gharbiya) and Frun — in the coming hours, according to reports from Lebanese channels this morning (Monday). The deployment will be under the direct supervision of CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper, who is expected to fly to Lebanon from Israel, the sources say.
As The Zioneer reported at 07:48 today, the deployment is described as a pilot phase of the security arrangement between Israel and Lebanon. The first item in today's thread — an earlier bulletin at 07:48 — noted the same plan, with Cooper's arrival referenced as a separate earlier report from overnight.
A CENTCOM commander's visit to Lebanon was first flagged by Lebanese media on Sunday evening. The villages named — Zoutar and Frun — are located in the western sector of southern Lebanon, a zone that has seen periodic Israeli military activity and Hezbollah presence. No further details on the scope or timing of the deployment are available yet.
