Summary

  • Israeli forces said Thursday they are still operating in a security zone about 10 km inside southern Lebanon, even after the interim US-Iran agreement called for an immediate halt to military operations there.
  • The military said the deployment is being maintained for operational needs and that troops remain in their designated area of operations.
  • The move leaves Lebanon as an early test of how fully the new US-Iran deal can curb fighting beyond the main war theater and reopen regional shipping routes.
