Beirut, Jan. 6 (Petra) – The Lebanese Army announced that it has established positions around the border town of Naqoura and commenced its deployment there in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

The statement urged citizens to avoid approaching the area and to adhere to the instructions of military units until the deployment is complete.
