Israel and Lebanon Discuss U.S.-Backed Pilot for Israeli Pullback in Southern Lebanon
Israel and Lebanon are discussing a pilot project, backed by the United States, under which the Israel Defense Forces would hand over parts of southern Lebanon to the Lebanese Army, according to three Israeli sources cited by Reuters.
The sources said Lebanese troops would undergo U.S. training and vetting as part of the arrangement. The reported talks indicate a limited, practical test of security coordination involving Israel, Lebanon, and Washington.
No further details were provided about the scope, timing, or location of the proposed transfer, and the report did not say whether any formal agreement has been reached. The sources spoke only of discussions over the pilot project.
