Lebanese army condemns Israel's entry into S. border for "religious visit"

Beirut, Mar 8 (UNI) The Lebanese army's Directorate of Guidance stated on Friday that the Israeli forces continued its "blatant violation" of Lebanon's sovereignty by "facilitating the entry of settlers to visit an alleged religious site" in southern Lebanon.
In a post on X, the army condemned the Israeli entry into the Al-Abbad area of the village of Houla as "another example of the enemy's persistent breaches of international laws, resolutions, and relevant agreements, particularly UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement."
Earlier in the day, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that a group of settlers entered the Al-Abbad tomb "under the guise of a religious visit," noting that Israelis claim the site is associated with Rav Ashi, a Babylonian Jewish rabbi.
