Military sources have dismissed BBC reports that a Greek warship has been dispatched to the Israeli-Lebanese border.
State broadcaster ERT said that Defence General Staff and navy sources underlined that while there is a vessel in the region, it is part of UNIFIL, the UN’s peacekeeping mission for Lebanon.
“A Greek warship is reportedly being deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean – it’s likely to be stationed off the Israel-Lebanon border,” a BBC report published early Friday morning said.
On Wednesday, the Defence General Staff confirmed that a frigate, the “Psara,” had already embarked on a scheduled, month-long NATO mission in the Eastern Mediterranean.
