Lebanon demands full Israeli withdrawal

Israeli forces have pulled out from southern Lebanon but remain in five locations along the border in what the Lebanese government describes as a violation of a ceasefire deal

Feb 18: End of deadline for Israel to withdraw under ceasefire brokered by U.S. and France, which requires Lebanon’s army to replace all Hezbollah fighters south of Litani River

Israel: IDF says troops would remain at five hilltops that give “vantage points” on Israeli towns over border to reassure residents of northern Israel who are set to return home on March 1
