The Lebanese army is reportedly not withdrawing from its positions on the border but instead redeploying to a number of new points due to the escalation, according to Middle Eastern press citing Lebanese military sources

The Lebanese army's decision to redeploy rather than withdraw from the border highlights a continuing escalation in tensions, which could have significant implications for regional stability. This movement may signal preparedness for further conflict, potentially affecting nearby assets, particularly in the oil and gold markets, as well as safe-haven flows into currencies such as the USD and CHF.
