Israeli officials reveal details of the tripartite framework agreement: The Israeli military will continue to be stationed in Lebanon's southern "security zone"

Local time on the evening of the 26th, an Israeli official disclosed that after talks between the United States, Israel, and Lebanon, representatives of the three countries signed a tripartite framework agreement in the U.S. the same night. Per the deal, Israel will maintain its military presence in the "security zone" it unilaterally demarcated in southern Lebanon until Lebanon’s Hezbollah disarms. The official noted that within the entire "security zone", the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will retain full freedom of military operations and can take action at any time to eliminate all potential security threats. Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon have agreed that in two areas outside the "security zone", Israel will gradually withdraw its troops and hand over control to the Lebanese Armed Forces. As of press time, Israeli officials and Lebanese authorities have not yet responded to the news. (CCTV)
