— الجيش اللبناني (@LebarmyOfficial) February 19, 2025Earlier, reports said that the ceasefire monitoring committee had beeninformed of Israel’s request to remain at certain positions in southern Lebanonuntil February 28, a request that the Lebanese side categorically rejected.
Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces have not withdrawn from fiveborder locations inside Lebanon, which allows them to oversee Lebanese bordertowns and areas across the frontier in Israel. These positions stretch from thewestern to the eastern sector of the border.
A ceasefire has been in effect since November 27, 2024, ending weeks ofcross-border exchanges between Israeli forces and Hezbollah that escalated intoa broader Israeli offensive on Lebanon starting September 23.
Under the agreement, Israel was given 60 days to withdraw from towns itoccupied in southern Lebanon during the war. However, it failed to meet theJanuary 26 deadline, prompting the US to broker an extension until February 18.
Israel has repeatedly breached the ceasefire, citing threats fromHezbollah, with hundreds of violations resulting in dozens of casualties.
Lebanon's presidency said on Tuesday that the country remains engaged indiplomatic efforts with the US and France to ensure Israel’s full withdrawal."Lebanon's decision is unified in favor of diplomacy," it added,stressing that "no one wants war."
