Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group has established over a dozen new observation posts along Israel’s northern border in recent weeks, according to a Saturday television report.
The Israeli military has long accused Hezbollah of conducting clandestine activities along the Israel-Lebanon border under the guise of an environmental group known as “Green Without Borders,” publishing details of a new site earlier this month.
Channel 12 news’s northern correspondent reported that at least 15 sites, which are manned by Hezbollah members 24 hours a day, have been built in recent weeks. They each include an observation post or tower and two or three residential and logistics buildings.

Channel 12 news’s northern correspondent reported that at least 15 sites, which are manned by Hezbollah members 24 hours a day, have been built in recent weeks. They each include an observation post or tower and two or three residential and logistics buildings.
Some of the posts are just meters away from the internationally recognized border between the countries — known as the Blue Line — and the Israel Defense Forces sites on the other side of the fence. One such post was recently built close to the site of a 2006 border attack on Israeli soldiers that sparked the Second Lebanon War.
The network said two more sites — dozens of meters from the border — were being built in recent days. Earlier this month, the head of the IDF’s Northern Command said Hezbollah had recently stepped up construction of military infrastructure near the border.
"We can see the operatives approaching the border area. We know them: their names, where they come from and where they are working. When the time comes, they will pay the price,” Maj. Gen. Amir Baram said.
Baram vowed that the IDF will “destroy all the infrastructure” in question and “will reduce it to nothing.”
