The Lebanese army said on Sunday that it had carried out two successive inspections of a building in the town of Yanouh, in southern Lebanon, without finding any weapons or ammunition, following an Israeli threat to strike the property.
In a statement posted on X, the army said the first search was conducted on Saturday with the consent of the owner, as part of coordination between the army, the committee overseeing the cessation-of-hostilities agreement (the “mechanism”), and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

After the troops withdrew, and despite continued Israeli attacks, a new threat targeting the same house was received. An army patrol immediately redeployed to the site and carried out a second inspection, which also found no weapons.
The army said its units remained deployed around the building to prevent it from being targeted, praising the cooperation of local residents and the role of the oversight committee, whose intervention helped avert the execution of the threat.
According to the army command, the incident underscores the importance of coordination with UNIFIL, adherence to Resolution 1701, and national solidarity around the army “at a delicate stage requiring the highest levels of awareness and responsibility.”
