Lebanese Forces Move into Israeli-Occupied Village as U.S.-Brokered Cease‑Fire Takes Effect

Lebanese forces entered a village previously held by Israeli troops. The entry follows the Israeli military’s withdrawal from the area. The withdrawal was part of a U.S.-brokered cease‑fire agreement. The deal calls for returning control of occupied zones to Lebanon. The agreement comes after several months of fighting between the sides. Hezbollah has publicly rejected the cease‑fire terms. The rejection signals potential challenges to the truce’s durability. Observers will watch for further developments on the ground.
