The report states that Hezbollah’s actions violate the cease-fire agreement, and Israel is establishing new military positions to counteract its activities.
In parallel with these new outposts, Israeli forces are expected to withdraw from certain Shiite villages in the region.
KAN previously reported that the U.S. had permitted Israeli troops to maintain a prolonged presence in some areas despite the looming withdrawal deadline.
Negotiations continue over five key positions near the Blue Line, with a crucial meeting on the matter scheduled for Feb. 14 in Ras Naqoura, southern Lebanon.
The cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon took effect on Nov. 27, 2024.
The agreement stipulated that Lebanon’s army would gradually deploy in southern Lebanon, and Israeli forces would withdraw within 60 days.
However, citing incomplete Lebanese military deployment, Israel extended its presence in the region until February 18.
