Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group has established new tall observation posts on Israel’s northern border as the Israel Defense Forces has ramped up the construction of a defense wall, Hebrew-language media report.
Residents of the northern town of Shtula who spoke to the Ynet news site and Channel 12 news say one such 18-meter-tall tower, just dozens of meters from the border, had been constructed over the past month, right where the IDF was replacing its aging border fence with a nine-meter-tall concrete wall.
Ynet’s northern correspondent reports that at least 20 posts manned by Hezbollah members in civilian clothing 24 hours a day have been built over the past year.
