The IDF indicated that it intends to remain in the neighboring country despite calls for a withdrawal
The Israeli military has published a map outlining what it described as a “forward defense line” in southern Lebanon, despite calls for a full withdrawal following the announcement of a ceasefire.
The map shows a new deployment line several kilometers beyond the border, encompassing dozens of mostly abandoned villages, days after a ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect.
Israel and Lebanon agreed on Thursday to a US-brokered ten-day ceasefire to halt more than a month of fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, following the first direct talks between the two sides in decades on April 14. The deal is aimed at supporting broader US-Iran diplomacy, although Israeli troops are set to remain deployed in parts of southern Lebanon.
