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.
