Israel military says creating buffer zone in Lebanon

The Israeli military on Tuesday said it was creating a buffer zone in Lebanon, shortly after the defense minister ordered troops to seize more positions across the border.

"In practice, Northern Command has moved forward, taken control of the dominating terrain, and is creating a buffer, as we promised, between our residents and any threat," military spokesman Effie Defrin said in a televised statement.
