IDF begins withdrawal from Lebanon, forces to triple along border

The IDF is withdrawing from southern Lebanon but will maintain five outposts near the border, each manned by a company of troops, to prevent Hezbollah from re-establishing positions in the area.

The overall Israeli border defense force will be three times larger than before the war, ensuring stability and security for northern Israel amid ongoing regional tensions. Click here to read more.
