Lebanon Deploys Troops to Pilot Zone as Israel Withdraws Under US Framework

Lebanon's army says it has begun deploying to a 'pilot zone' in southern Lebanon after Israel's withdrawal under a US-brokered trilateral framework aimed at disarming Hezbollah; the plan involves the IDF adjusting its posture to let the Lebanese Armed Forces operate in zones like Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh while Israel maintains a border security presence, and the US says the move is a milestone with pledged support to help Lebanon build capacity to disarm Hezbollah.

IDF Data Contradicts Lebanon’s Claim to Disarm Hezbollah in the South

Israel’s IDF released statistics alleging Hezbollah fired about 3,000 mortars and missiles from near the Litani River since the operation began, refuting Lebanon’s Jan. 8, 2026 claim that Hezbollah had been disarmed in southern Lebanon; the IDF calls the Lebanese claim a lie and says Hezbollah has reinforced its forces and can move south via bridges and crossings, undermining the LAF’s disarmament effort.

Israeli Strikes on Lebanese Army Raise Concerns for Biden Administration

The Biden administration has expressed concern over Israel's attacks on the US-backed Lebanese Armed Forces, warning that the conflict in the Middle East could escalate. At least 34 Israeli strikes have reportedly targeted areas where Lebanese Armed Forces personnel were present, resulting in injuries and fatalities. While some strikes were believed to be accidental, others were deemed less clear in their intention, raising concerns about Israeli troops' restraint. The US has invested over $3 billion in supporting the Lebanese Armed Forces since 2006 to serve as a stabilizing force against regional threats.
