The Lebanese broadcaster LBCI, citing a Lebanese source, reports that no Israeli withdrawal has been observed — rather, military vehicles have advanced toward the village of Khraïbeh in southern Lebanon, and at least one vehicle entered the village. The report is unverified by Israeli authorities.
The Lebanese broadcaster LBCI, citing a Lebanese source, reported Friday afternoon that Israeli military activity in southern Lebanon has not shown signs of a pullback. According to the report, Israeli military vehicles were observed advancing toward the village of Khraïbeh, and at least one vehicle entered the village itself. This runs counter to any suggestion of Israeli de-escalation in the area.
The report follows weeks of unverified claims by Lebanese sources regarding Israeli ground maneuvers in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer has previously tracked (multiple background reports since early June), Lebanese outlets have intermittently reported IDF vehicle movements in valleys near the border and toward villages such as Wadi al-Hujayr, Kfar Shuba, Baraachit, and Khiam — with the IDF typically declining comment. These reports have ranged from allegations of incursions to later denials, and official confirmation has rarely been issued.
The current report is sourced from a single Lebanese media outlet, with no independent corroboration from Israeli military sources. Its significance lies in contradicting potential narratives of an Israeli withdrawal, but remains within a pattern of unverified single-source Lebanese claims tracked by the desk.
