Israel preparing to stay in southern Lebanon after ceasefire: Report

Haaretz is reporting that the Israeli military is preparing to possibly keep its forces in southern Lebanon after the 60-day period that was agreed to in the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah.

The report said that if the Lebanese army didn't achieve full control of southern Lebanon, then Israel's forces would stay in the area.

Lebanon has accused Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire agreement, including on Wednesday when Israel's military conducted an air strike on Baalbek, a city in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley.
