Israel has been occupying a swath of southern Lebanon since war broke out in March between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The Lebanese army is supposed to gradually take control of the area under a June framework agreement between the two countries. The standoff around Deir Mimas began when two Israeli tanks advanced along a road towards the town and stopped in front of a dirt barricade with Lebanese army vehicles stationed on the other side. The Lebanese military said its army patrol had established a temporary observation post on the outskirts of Deir Mimas on September 10 in coordination with the military coordination group for Lebanon, the US-backed trilateral body that manages deconfliction between Israel and Lebanon. “An Israeli occupation force approached the newly established post located within the so-called security zone and threw sound bombs in the vicinity,” the army said in a statement. “In response, the [Lebanese] army reinforced the post, and a state of alert ensued between the two sides.” Advertisement    National News Agency reported that Israeli forces then withdrew, retreating to their position in neighbouring Tell en-Nhas. Meanwhile, Lebanese troops returned to their main base in the town after contacting the deconfliction group, the Lebanese army said.      Separately on Friday, the Israeli military advanced from the municipality of al-Tiri towards the outskirts of Hadatha in southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil district, according to the agency. In other parts of southern Lebanon, Israeli forces struck the municipalities of al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun with artillery shelling. Israeli forces also set fire to the public hospital in the town of Meiss el-Jabal, according to Lebanese state media. Details on the extent of the damage or casualties were not immediately reported. A US-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel in June provides for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the deployment of the Lebanese army in areas vacated by Israeli forces. Despite the agreement, however, Israel has continued attacks on southern Lebanon and occupies areas in the region. Israeli attacks have killed at least 4,386 people and wounded 12,407 others since March 2, when the current Hezbollah-Israel war erupted. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said the overall casualties from Israeli attacks since it began its war on Gaza in October 2023 had reached 8,953 killed and 30,643 injured.            aj-logo             aj-logo             aj-logo       Advertisement          About About   Show more  (https://www.aljazeera.com/about-us) About Us   (https://www.aljazeera.com/code-of-ethics/) Code of Ethics   (https://www.aljazeera.com/terms-and-conditions/) Terms and Conditions   (https://www.aljazeera.com/eu-eea-regulatory/) EU/EEA Regulatory Notice   (https://privacy.aljazeera.net/) Privacy Policy   (https://privacy.aljazeera.net/cookie/) Cookie Policy   (https://www.aljazeera.com/) Cookie Preferences    (https://trust.aljazeera.net/accessibility/) Accessibility Statement   (https://www.aljazeera.com/sitemap) Sitemap   (https://careers.aljazeera.net/) Work for us      Connect Connect   Show more  (https://network.aljazeera.net/en/contact?tid=6) Contact Us   (https://www.aljazeera.com/user-accounts-help) User Accounts Help   (https://commercial.aljazeera.net/) Advertise with us   (https://www.aljazeera.com/stay-connected) Stay Connected   (https://www.aljazeera.com/newsletters) Newsletters   (https://sat.aljazeera.net/en) Channel Finder   (https://www.aljazeera.com/schedule/) TV Schedule   (https://www.aljazeera.com/podcasts/) Podcasts   (https://webapps.aljazeera.net/aje/tips/) Submit a Tip   (https://www.aljazeera.com/sponsored) Paid Partner Content      Our Channels Our Channels   Show more  (http://aljazeera.net/) Al Jazeera Arabic   (https://www.aljazeera.com/) Al Jazeera English   (https://www.ajiunit.com/) Al Jazeera Investigative Unit   (https://www.aljazeeramubasher.net/) Al Jazeera Mubasher   (http://doc.aljazeera.net/) Al Jazeera Documentary   (http://balkans.aljazeera.net/) Al Jazeera Balkans   (http://ajplus.net/) AJ+      Our Network Our Network   Show more  (http://studies.aljazeera.net/en/) Al Jazeera Centre for Studies   (http://training.aljazeera.net/) Al Jazeera Media Institute   (http://learning.aljazeera.net/) Learn Arabic   (http://liberties.aljazeera.com/en) Al Jazeera Centre for Public Liberties & Human Rights   (http://forum.aljazeera.net/) Al Jazeera Forum   (https://hotels.aljazeera.net/en) Al Jazeera Hotel Partners        Follow Al Jazeera English: (https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera) facebook       (https://twitter.com/ajenglish) twitter     (https://www.youtube.com/aljazeeraenglish) youtube     (https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/?hl=en) instagram-colored-outline                          (https://www.aljazeera.com/xml/rss/all.xml) rss     (https://bsky.app/profile/aljazeera.com) bluesky     (https://www.tiktok.com/@aljazeeraenglish) tiktok-colored-outline                  (Al Jazeera Media Network logo)   © 2026 Al Jazeera Media Network
