Army Inspects Southern Suburb Site After Ceasefire Committee Warning

The Lebanese Army has completed a security sweep of a site in Beirut’s southern suburbs after receiving an alert from the Ceasefire Mechanism, military sources confirmed Sunday, amid a noticeable uptick in Israeli drone activity over the area.

The operation took place in the Mrayjeh neighborhood, where army units conducted a detailed inspection of a previously targeted building. The search yielded no weapons or military equipment, and the army subsequently withdrew from the site.

“The army has completed its inspection in the Mrayjeh area without finding anything,” a military source told local broadcaster LBCI. “It’s worth noting that the site had been hit during the war several months ago.”

The inspection was prompted by a warning from the Ceasefire Mechanism, which advised the Lebanese Army to verify the location amid threats it could be targeted again by Israeli forces. In response, army personnel returned to the damaged structure Sunday evening for a second inspection, noting that it already visited the site days earlier to rule out the presence of arms or military infrastructure.

According to Al-Hadath TV, the site is among several locations that were struck by Israeli air raids during recent escalations, adding to fears of renewed targeting.

During the operation, army units cordoned off the area surrounding the Al-Kazem residential complex, situated behind the Imam Al-Sadiq School in the Laylaki district, restricting access to ensure the security of the search.

Simultaneously, residents reported a growing presence of Israeli drones flying at medium altitude across Beirut’s southern suburbs, as aerial surveillance in the area appeared to intensify.
