The Lebanese army has recently announced its decision to strengthen its presence in the southern region of the country, as stated in a release on Wednesday. This move comes in the wake of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah.
Lebanon shares its southern border with Israel, making the situation in this region of paramount importance. The terms of the new ceasefire pact dictate that Israel must completely withdraw its troops from southern Lebanon. Furthermore, the agreement specifies that the only authorized armed entities south of the Litani river in the region should be the Lebanese military and the UN peacekeeping forces.
