Israeli Troops Invade Southern Lebanon, Construct Roadblock Overnight

As they have many other times since the ceasefire went into effect in November, Israeli troops entered southern Lebanon overnight, in an operation around the village of Mays al-Jabal. They brought bulldozers, and reportedly also constructed a roadblock before they left.

This is just one of several thousand ceasefire violations by Israel since it began. Israel launches multiple airstrikes on Lebanon on the average day, and these ground operations, while less regular, are just part of the continued operations that suggest the ceasefire didn’t really end the war.

The Lebanese Army showed up in the area on Tuesday, after the overnight roadblock construction, and are aiming to dismantle it. The reports don’t indicate where exactly the roadblock is positioned, beyond being east of Mays al-Jabal.
