Following the announcement of a ceasefire deal, Israeli forces are set to withdraw from Lebanon within a 60-day period, as outlined in the agreement terms. A senior US administration official confirmed that while the immediate withdrawal will not take place, the process will commence with the deployment of Lebanese military and security forces towards the southern region.
The official emphasized the gradual nature of the withdrawal, highlighting the need to prevent any potential security vacuums during the transition. As the Lebanese military advances southward, Israeli forces will progressively pull back from the area.
