Israel will remain in Lebanon at “five strategic points that control the communities in southern Lebanon and our communities on the border,” says an Israeli official, confirming earlier reports regarding the planned Israeli withdrawal tomorrow.

“At the same time,” pledges the official, “Israel will continue to vigorously enforce the ceasefire in Lebanon — as has been clearly demonstrated so far, including today.”

An IDF strike in Lebanon killed a Hamas commander earlier today.
