The Lebanese army has sent troops to southern Lebanon on Wednesday. It's part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Hezbollah aimed at de-escalating tensions.
The ceasefire, which is also supported by the United Nations and France, includes key provisions to restore calm along Lebanon’s southern border, where tensions have been escalating for months.
As part of the deal, Israel is required to withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah is instructed to move its fighters north of the Litani River, a strategic location in southern Lebanon. The agreement is designed to end hostilities and establish a more stable security situation in the region. The U.N. will play a crucial role in monitoring the situation, with peacekeepers deployed to ensure compliance from both parties. An international panel led by the U.S. will also oversee the adherence to the ceasefire terms, ensuring that the terms are upheld throughout the region.
The Lebanese army's active role in this agreement is pivotal. Troops have been deployed to assert control in the south, which has long been a stronghold for Hezbollah fighters. This move is part of a broader plan to stabilize the region and prevent further escalation. The agreement sets out a gradual 60-day timeline for Israel’s withdrawal, with the pace of the pullback and the return of Lebanese civilians contingent on the successful execution of the ceasefire terms.
