Relying on the Lebanese Army May Delay IDF Withdrawal
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - For two months, a joint operations center between the IDF and U.S. CENTCOM has overseen the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. If a Hizbullah violation is detected, the IDF gives Lebanon's army 24 hours to address it. Left unresolved, the IDF intervenes, either via airstrikes or ground forces. Immediate threats, however, prompt swift action without coordination. Lebanese Army forces have yet to deploy sufficiently south of the Litani River, as required by the ceasefire. IDF engineers continue uncovering hidden Hizbullah infrastructure, including weapons caches and tunnels. The IDF has informed CENTCOM that it will not withdraw from southern Lebanon unless the Lebanese Army fulfills its obligations and Hizbullah's military infrastructure is dismantled.
