The IDF confirms it has withdrawn from southern Lebanon’s Khiam in accordance with the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah.

The Israeli military says it still remains deployed to other areas of southern Lebanon, and will continue to operate against any threats.

The Lebanese army said earlier today that it began to deploy troops to Khiam following the IDF withdrawal, in coordination with UNIFIL. The army also warned Lebanese civilians not to approach the area as it conducts scans of the town for unexploded ordnances.

The IDF has until late January to withdraw from all areas of southern Lebanon under the ceasefire deal.
