BEIRUT — Lebanon’s army says it began reinforcing its presence in south Lebanon, after Prime Minister Najib Mikati announced a cabinet decision to bolster the force’s deployment following a Hezbollah-Israel ceasefire.

“The army has begun reinforcing its presence in the South Litani sector and extending the state’s authority in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL),” the military says in a statement. An AFP journalist reports seeing army troops and vehicles in two south Lebanon areas.
