Lebanese Army Deploys to Southern Border Amidst Israeli Withdrawal and Humanitarian Crisis
The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have initiated deployments into southern Lebanon, including areas previously held by Israeli forces, following a ceasefire agreement and Israeli withdrawals. This move aims to establish Lebanese security control and potentially disarm Hezbollah, though the sustainability of the withdrawal and the LAF's enforcement capabilities against non-state actors remain uncertain. Concurrently, humanitarian access to Israeli-occupied Christian villages in southern Lebanon remains restricted.
