Israeli regime builds more military bases in south Lebanon

The Israeli regime is building at least seven new military bases and dozens of kilometres of roads in southern Lebanon, the Haaretz newspaper reported on Wednesday. One of the new installations has been constructed on the site of the demolished Khiam prison, according to the report.

The Zionist regime's military is also constructing tens of kilometres of new roads intended for military use, the newspaper said. Haaretz stated that the report was based on field visits and recent satellite images.

This development comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, with the Israeli regime having conducted a war on Lebanon in recent years. The construction of these bases and roads is seen as a further entrenchment of Israeli military presence in Lebanese territory.

The Khiam prison, which was demolished, was a former detention center operated by the South Lebanon Army, a militia allied with Israel during its occupation of southern Lebanon. The site now being used for a new military base holds symbolic significance for many Lebanese.

According to Haaretz, the new bases and roads are part of a broader effort to strengthen the Israeli military's position in the area. The report did not specify the exact locations of all the new installations but indicated that they are spread across southern Lebanon.

The Israeli regime has not officially commented on the report. The Lebanese government has previously condemned Israeli violations of its sovereignty and called for international intervention to halt such activities.

This report by Haaretz adds to growing concerns about the Israeli regime's military activities in the region, which have been a source of tension between Israel and Lebanon. The construction of new bases and roads is likely to further strain relations and could lead to increased diplomatic and military responses from Lebanon and its allies.
