Syria Repositions Troops Near Lebanese Border

MTV News has learned that the Syrian-Lebanese border, from the Damascus side, witnessed a redeployment of the Syrian army. The non-Syrian armed elements previously stationed near the border have been withdrawn and replaced by the regular Syrian army forces.

This move is believed to have been made to better control the border and to reassure the Lebanese side. It follows U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about possibly using the Syrian army to confront Hezbollah, a stance that Saudi Arabia, which wields significant influence over President Ahmed Sharaa's decisions, has reservations about.
