Israel's military on Wednesday accused Hezbollah of a "blatant violation of the ceasefire" after an explosive drone was fired at an Israeli engineering vehicle near Ali al-Taher Ridge inside the Security Zone in southern Lebanon, The Hindu reported. No injuries were reported, the army said, adding that troops would not allow attacks. Separately, Lebanon's state media reported that Israeli troops infiltrated the village of Zawtar al-Gharbiya on Saturday, building an earthen barrier near the town square. Mayor Abed Ezzeddine confirmed the barrier, about 100 metres from the square. Israel said it was "not aware of such an event". A Lebanese military source called it a violation of the June framework accord.
