The Lebanese Army has deployed to the southern town of Zawtar Al-Gharbiyeh following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area, according to a senior Lebanese official.
Footage from the scene shows military convoys, armored vehicles, and Lebanese soldiers moving into the town as the army worked to establish its presence after the Israeli withdrawal.
Local officials described the deployment as an important step in restoring state authority, with one official declaring that "the Lebanese Army is back."
The troops are expected to secure the area, monitor the situation, and help maintain stability as military positions are reorganized in southern Lebanon.
The deployment comes amid continued international attention on security arrangements along the Israel–Lebanon border, where tensions have remained high despite efforts to prevent further escalation.
Southern Lebanon has been at the center of repeated confrontations in recent months, making the presence of the Lebanese Army a key part of efforts to reduce the risk of renewed clashes.
Authorities say the army will continue coordinating with local communities and relevant international partners as it expands its presence in areas affected by the recent withdrawal.
The latest deployment marks another significant development in the evolving security situation, as both sides remain under close international observation while efforts continue to preserve stability along the border.
