On 9 November, UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said UNIFIL had observed engineering work and road construction that appeared to signal preparations for a sustained Israeli presence in its eastern and western sectors. He said peacekeepers recorded six Israeli airstrikes and 360 artillery trajectories over four days, along with movement restrictions. UNIFIL did not specify the work’s purpose or how long Israeli troops might remain; the account is attributed to the UN briefing as reported by Anadolu and Dawn.
