United Nations peacekeepers have been dispatched to evacuate about 350 Lebanese soldiers and police held by Israeli forces in Marjayoun a day after Israeli soldiers swept into the southern Lebanese town.
Security officials said that on Friday two armoured vehicles from the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, a 2,000-member peacekeeping force deployed in southern Lebanon, headed to Marjayoun, which Israeli forces occupied on Thursday.
They will escort the Lebanese soldiers out of their barracks in a convoy that will take them into government-controlled territory further north, the Lebanese security officials said.
On Thursday, Ahmed Fatfat, the interior minister, said Israeli soldiers entered the garrison in the afternoon "and asked to share it with Lebanese troops there".
He said the soldiers refused and wanted to leave, but the Israelis stopped them.
