Israeli military to remain in five locations across southern Lebanon past ceasefire deadline
ai generated text
The Israeli military plans to keep troops in five locations in southern Lebanon past the ceasefire deadline, which has sparked concerns about a possible resurgence in violence between Israel and Hezbollah. This decision raises questions about the commitment to the withdrawal process, as Lebanese officials had earlier expressed concerns that a complete withdrawal might not be achieved.
We will leave small amounts of troops deployed temporarily in five strategic points along the border in Lebanon so we can continue to defend our residents and to make sure there's no immediate threat.
Hezbollah must be disarmed. And Israel would prefer that the Lebanese army do that job, but no one should doubt that Israel will do what it has to do to enforce the understandings of the ceasefire and defend our security.
The IDF's enforcement activities against Hezbollah will continue at full strength. We will not allow a return to the reality of 7 October [2023].
The Lebanese response will be through a unified, comprehensive national position.
The Lebanese state must take a firm stance and say no – because if Israel remains in any occupied area after that date, it will be in violation of the agreement.
It appears that there is a tacit if not an explicit US agreement to extend the withdrawal period.
