Military sources have disclosed that Israel is declining to transfer control of the Majdal Zoun facility to the Lebanese Armed Forces and instead intends to proceed with its destruction.

According to the sources, residents have been warned about the scale and intensity of the planned demolition, which is expected to produce a blast equivalent to a magnitude 3 earthquake.

The reported refusal to hand over the facility marks a continuation of tensions regarding military installations in the border region, with Israel moving forward with its demolition plans rather than allowing Lebanese military authorities to assume control of the site.
