In recent days, the committee overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire agreement requested the Lebanese Army to inspect all newly placed pre-fab units in Kfarkela, Marun al-Ras, Mais al-Jabal, Aitaroun, Bleda, and Muhaibib. The request came following Israeli claims that the units are being used for military purposes. The Army complied and provided the committee with photos showing the interior of each unit. According to a well-informed source, the committee’s new head, US General Michael Langley, “concluded that Israel is exaggerating in its targeting of these prefabricated structures” and promised to “exert pressure to stop the bombardment.”

This campaign against the pre-fab units has been one of the main obstacles preventing the designation of polling stations for upcoming municipal elections in many border towns. A source involved in electoral planning expects some stations initially set up in Aitaroun, Yaroun, Bleda, Mais al-Jabal, and Adaisseh to be relocated to second-line towns. At the same time, locations in Ain Ebel, Rmeish, and Kfar Shouba are unlikely to be changed.

The Lebanese Army reportedly received information indicating that the Israeli enemy “may carry out attacks to intimidate southerners and suppress their return to their hometowns and participation in the elections.”

Targeting prefabricated structures in southern border towns has become the new focus of “Israel’s” ongoing aggression. The latest strike, carried out by an Apache helicopter last night, hit three pre-fab units in central Tayr Harfa, where a polling station was set to be established as an alternative to the one initially relocated to Tyre. The airstrike may now force a suspension of that plan.
