โญ•๏ธ According to Bloomberg, Israel plans to retain control over five strategic high points inside Lebanon beyond next Tuesdayโ€™s ceasefire deadline, despite the agreement requiring a full withdrawal. Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer stated that the army would redeploy but hold onto these positions โ€œuntil Lebanon implements its treaty obligations.โ€

Dermer did not specify how long Israel intends to maintain these positions but linked the withdrawal to Lebanonโ€™s enforcement of ceasefire terms, including keeping Hezbollah away from the border and preventing its rearmament. While Israel initially agreed to withdraw within 60 days, it later extended the deadline, citing Hezbollahโ€™s lack of cooperation. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirmed his stance on a full Israeli withdrawal by the set deadline. Meanwhile, US envoy Morgan Ortagus confirmed that "February 18th will be the date for redeployment," without addressing Israelโ€™s plan to hold its positions.
