Lebanese Soldiers Deploy Along Border with Israel

More than 400 Lebanese soldiers have deployed together with UNIFIL forces to positions along the border with Israel. Israeli troops are continuing to withdraw from Lebanon and are expected to be totally removed by the end of this week. On Sunday, Lebanese forces placed tanks and armored vehicles in border positions previously held by Hizbullah at Mhabib and Hula. New posts were created at Ras Naqura on the Mediterranean coast and at Labbuneh, two miles inland. Two key border areas, near Kiryat Shmona and along the Mediterranean coast at Rosh Hanikra, were turned over by Israeli troops to United Nations forces over the weekend.
