Lebanese army leaves Kfar Tebnit barracks

AP reported that Lebanese army troops withdrew from their Kfar Tebnit barracks after Israeli forces advanced nearby, as NNA logged strikes and shelling around Nabatieh. AP said the push appeared aimed at the strategic Ali Taher hill, while Times of Israel and L'Orient tracked the same south Lebanon ground-pressure line.

Why this matters. The withdrawal turns the 20-town evacuation-and-strike cycle into a ground-position watchpoint: Ali Taher overlooks Nabatieh and route links, so the next test is whether Hezbollah responds and whether any U.S.-Iran text can actually restrain Israel's freedom to act.
