The Minister of Defense in the caretaker government, Zeina Akar, is visiting a number of the Lebanese Army centers in the Bint Jbeil and Tyre districts, in addition to several border points in a southern tour that will conclude at the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura. https://t.co/PoqIvQyWmM
Why is she here in a second visit in one month? Because of the upcoming border dispute negotiations.

Reports of flares over the border facing Mays Al Jabal. Working to confirm footage.
According to Al Manar reporter Ali Chiab, no security incident.
