Israeli troops cede first town to Lebanese army as part of US-brokered ceasefire

Israeli troops withdrew from the first occupied town in Lebanon on Wednesday, ceding it to Lebanon's army. 

Lebanese troops deployed to the town of Khiam, which Israel had occupied as part of its invasion, the Israeli military said. UN peace keeping troops also entered the town. 

The ceasefire in Lebanon has generally held, but Israel has continued to bomb Lebanon.
