Read, Digital Desk : Israel has begun withdrawing troops from parts of southern Lebanon as an “act of good faith,” Israeli news website I24 reported on Thursday, citing a US source.
The parts of the so-called buffer zone in southern Lebanon that Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have withdrawn from will be taken over by the Lebanese army. An Israeli official reportedly said that IDF forces would maintain a presence in southern Lebanon.
The fifth round of Lebanese-Israeli talks began in Washington on Tuesday.
Israel and the Hezbollah reportedly reached a ceasefire agreement that was scheduled to take effect on June 19, but a Lebanese military field source told RIA Novosti that same day that Israel continued airstrikes on southern Lebanon.
