PARIS: One year after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the Israeli army still maintains five positions in south Lebanon, with fortifications and widened access routes, according to satellite images analyzed by AFP.
The November 27, 2024 truce, which sought to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group, required Israel to fully withdraw troops from Lebanon within 60 days.
Hezbollah was to pull its forces north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, and its military infrastructure in the area was to be dismantled.
Israel has kept troops in five positions that it deems strategic, saying it wants to ensure Hezbollah does not carry out any military activities in south Lebanon.
AFP was able to pinpoint these bases through satellite images from Planet Labs PBC.
