Israel is preparing to stay in Lebanon for a very long period, beyond the 60-day period provided for by the agreement which entered into force on November 27, the Israeli channel reported on Sunday morning Can. According to Israeli sources, the Jewish state plans to stay in Lebanon beyond 90 days, because the IDF considers it essential to remain in a certain number of outposts in Lebanon. The sources said that Hezbollah is also not honoring its side of the deal and that not all of the Shiite terrorist group's forces have withdrawn beyond the Litani River, as required by the ceasefire agreement. fire.
Israel is also waiting to see who will lead the new Lebanese government and whether it will be possible to cooperate with him on the issue of the agreement. “Hezbollah cannot be trusted to work to restore its capabilities as soon as IDF forces leave Lebanon,” Israeli officials said.
On Saturday evening, Kan reported problems in the functioning of the Lebanese army supposed to implement certain terms of the agreement. The Lebanese army has indeed deployed troops in the south of the country as agreed, but the number of troops in the area is lower than the 6,000 initially planned.
The issue of disunity within the Lebanese army over the motivations for implementing the ceasefire agreement was also raised. On the one hand, the high command led by General Joseph Aoun is motivated to carry out the tasks assigned to it by the Americans, but on the other hand, where there are Shiite commanders, performance is significantly lower. Some even go so far as to provide intelligence to Hezbollah.
