The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, reported Thursday morning that Israel had sent a "diplomatic warning" through the UN that it would use military force to evacuate two sites established by Hezbollah inside Israeli territory in the Har Dov area. This is against the backdrop of the report that Hezbollah recently erected two tents in the area, including armed men.
According to the report, Hezbollah stressed to the mediators that these are Lebanese territories that Israel occupies and that Lebanon has the right to come, whether officials or residents, etc. Hezbollah has made it clear that it absolutely refuses to evacuate the tents. Israel seized these areas in the Har Dov area from Syria in the Six-Day War, and therefore Israel does not consider them to be territory conquered from Lebanon.

In addition, the Lebanese newspaper learned that the message was passed on through a complaint submitted by Israel to the UN. It was also reported that in the past two weeks there has been mediation by European elements on the issue.
Yesterday, during a discussion held last week in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, it was revealed that a Hezbollah force had invaded the sovereign territory of the State of Israel, in the Har Dov sector, and established an armed and manned military position there.
As far as the IDF is concerned, this is an incident that is under control, handled and recognized. The IDF's friction with Hezbollah in this sector is in Area 300, mainly border points 73 and 74, where the IDF erected a fence and barrier, for which Hezbollah claimed irregularities. Hezbollah is doing everything in its power to provoke provocations in the fence area, as well as in the Shivanite area of Har Dov, Mitzpe Ramta, where Hezbollah forces also crossed the Blue Line by a few meters.
