PNN – The Zionist regime’s insistence on staying in five strategic points in southern Lebanon can face serious challenges to the continuation of the ceasefire agreement.
The deadline given to the Zionist occupying army to withdraw from the border villages in southern Lebanon officially ended on Tuesday morning, and the Lebanese army announced in a statement that its forces were stationed in 11 towns in the south of the country.
The Lebanese army also announced: We have started the process of engineering review, reopening roads and dealing with unexploded ammunition and suspicious objects.
This statement was issued after AFP reported, citing security sources, that the Israeli army has withdrawn from all border villages in southern Lebanon, except for five points.
Earlier, the Zionist regime had announced that despite the end of the final deadline for the withdrawal of its troops from southern Lebanon, they will remain in five areas of the country’s territory.
These five hills or strategic points include Jebel Blat, Labuneh Hill, Al-Azia Hill, Al-Aweida Hill and Al-Hamames Hill.
Now Channel 13 of the Zionist regime, citing sources, has announced that the military of this regime will intervene in places where the Lebanese army is not present and will deal with any violation.
In the meantime, Lebanon’s official news agency announced: The Zionist regime’s fighters carried out two attacks on the Litani River between the Lahad Bridge and the Mahmoudieh area in the city of Al-Aishiya in the Jezin region.
The clear violation of the terms of the ceasefire by the Zionist army has resulted in the reaction of the Lebanese government authorities.
The spokesman of the Lebanese presidency also said on Tuesday that Lebanon considers any continued presence of Israel in its territory as an occupation, and at the same time emphasized Lebanon’s right to use all means to ensure the retreat of the regime’s army.
He said Lebanon might decide to go to the Security Council to force Israel to withdraw “immediately” from the south.
The resumption of the regime’s great nightmare war
Jafar Qanad Bashi, an analyst of West Asian issues, in an interview with Al-Waqt, examined the effects of the violation of the ceasefire agreement by the Zionist regime and the prospects for future developments and stated: During the past two decades, southern Lebanon has been the most worried for the Zionist regime due to the deployment of Hezbollah forces. Therefore, the Israeli authorities try to provide the groundwork to greatly reduce the future risks to the security of the regime. The regime wants not to allow the deployment of Hezbollah forces to continue as in the past. Of course, the Israelis also have “territorial development” goals, in the sense that they are trying to expand the territories under their occupation.
This expert on regional issues continues: The Zionist regime in southern Lebanon, due to the injuries and fatal blows it has received from Hezbollah, at the beginning of the matter, their goal is to prevent Hezbollah from recovering in the southernmost region of Lebanon.
As you know, the first defeat suffered by the regime in the history of its establishment was related to the withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000. And the second time was the 33-day war in 2005, which ended the myth of Israel’s invincibility. Therefore, it can be concluded that the southern front of Lebanon is different and Hezbollah has been the most capable force in rebuilding the combat power on the fronts of the war against Israel.
In analyzing the approach of the Aoun government to the continuation of the regime’s occupation in southern Lebanon, this expert on regional issues also stated: Unfortunately, the new government of Lebanon is a weak government; sometimes it implements the intentions and agendas of America. The Lebanese government raises some anti-Zionist slogans, but ignores the will of the people in practice. The Lebanese government remains at the crossroads of paying attention to the national interests and the wishes of the Lebanese people and the interests of the United States and France.
