Why is Israel facing criticism despite the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah?
Israel is facing criticism for maintaining a military presence in southern Lebanon despite a deadline to withdraw troops as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. According to the report, Israeli forces were expected to fully withdraw from Lebanese territory, but Prime Minister Netanyahu has kept some troops in place, citing complex regional security concerns. The situation has significant implications for war-torn Lebanese villages like Kifa Killa, where residents are confronting devastating aftermath. This partial compliance with the withdrawal terms reflects the strategic calculations Israel is making while balancing ceasefire commitments against perceived security needs in the region.
