18 February 2025 09:30 GMT
In a post on X, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says the Israeli army “will remain in a buffer zone in Lebanon in five strategic outposts along the border line, to ensure the protection of the northern communities”, a day after the deadline for Israeli forces to withdraw from areas across southern Lebanon has passed.
“The IDF's enforcement activities against Hezbollah will continue at full strength. We will not allow a return to the reality of October 7th”, Katz added.
