Lebanese Army Deploys in South Lebanon Village Following Israeli Withdrawal
The Lebanese Army began deploying in the village of Zaouat al-Arabiya near Nabatieh on Tuesday morning after Israeli forces withdrew from the area. A senior Lebanese security official told Reuters that this deployment marks the start of a pilot program in southern Lebanon. Lebanese military engineering teams are currently conducting street sweeps to detect and remove explosives and remnants of ordnance left behind.
The Lebanese Army has confirmed the deployment and urged local residents to avoid the village until the security situation stabilizes. This operation is part of a broader pilot initiative in southern Lebanon designed to test the implementation of mutual understandings, including a phased Israeli withdrawal, Lebanese Army deployment, and the transfer of security responsibility in designated zones.
The pilot aims to establish a new security arrangement in the region, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage tensions and maintain stability along the Lebanon-Israel border.
