Report: U.S. Agrees to Israel Holding Strategic Points in Southern Lebanon
(Israel Hayom) Shachar Kleiman - Sources told the Hizbullah-affiliated Al-Akhbar that U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein and U.S. Maj.-Gen. Jasper Jeffers, head of the international oversight committee monitoring the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, agreed to Israel's proposal to retain control over three strategic hills, where military outposts will be established overlooking sectors in southern Lebanon. These positions will enable Israel to monitor vast areas south of the Litani River. The hills are uninhabited and devoid of structures. The outposts will allow the IDF to conduct raids into Lebanese territory if necessary.
