Israel's withdrawal: Fragile ceasefire in Lebanon on the brink!

The Israeli army has withdrawn from several towns in southern Lebanon, just hours before the deadline for withdrawal under a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, according to reports from Lebanese security forces. According to the news portal oe24 This withdrawal began in areas such as Mais al-Jabal and Blida. Israeli forces had previously said they would remain stationed at five strategic points in Lebanon even after the deadline passed, a move it described as temporary.

In Lebanon's heated political arena, Hezbollah chief Naim Kassem has called on the government to enforce the full withdrawal of Israeli troops by February 18. In a speech to his supporters, Kassem made it clear: “There is no excuse.” Loud zeit.de The Lebanese state must do everything in its power to ensure withdrawal. This demand comes at a critical time as the ceasefire, which came into effect on November 27 after ongoing fighting, allowed both the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers to operate in the region, while Hezbollah was ordered to retreat beyond the Litani River and dismantle its military bases.

The situation remains tense. Reports from Lebanon report violence, including the death of a woman in Israeli shelling. Israel also emphasized that the soldiers would remain in several positions in the south of the country, while the Lebanese army made strong accusations against Israel and spoke of a hesitant withdrawal. The ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah show how fragile peace remains in the region, with both sides blaming each other for violations of the agreement.
