The Lebanon ceasefire agreement requires Israeli troops to withdraw from south Lebanon and Lebanon's army to deploy in the region, officials say. Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the border south of the Litani River.

Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib said the Lebanese army would be ready to have at least 5,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon as Israeli troops withdraw, and that the United States could play a role in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by Israeli strikes.

Israel demands effective U.N. enforcement of an eventual ceasefire with Lebanon and will show "zero tolerance" toward any infraction, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday.

    They were getting stymied because they didn't think Hezbollah would be a viable threat

    They just want to pull back to finish off Gaza before they try again

      Hopefully it also gives Hezbollah time to rebuild and recover from the terrorist pager attacks, too. My only worry is Gaza and Yemen being left to fend for themselves during the genocide.

        I wonder if Hezbollah fighters will relocate to neighboring fronts. Doesn't seem likely given their primary reason to exist is as a defensive deterrent force along the southern border, but I guess time will tell.
