Israeli forces conducted a first withdrawal from a town in south Lebanon and were replaced by the Lebanese military under a ceasefire deal, the US Central
Command said on Wednesday.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that the stationing of troops “in the Khiam and Marjayoun areas today represents a fundamental step towards strengthening the army’s deployment in the south, in implementation of the ceasefire decision.” The Israeli military meanwhile said its 7th Brigade had “concluded their mission in Khiam in southern Lebanon.”
Israel stepped up its military campaign in south Lebanon in late September after nearly a year of cross-border exchanges begun by Hezbollah in support of its ally Hamas, following the Palestinian group’s October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
