Israel to keep soldiers in five strategic points inside Lebanon: Reports

An Israeli official has confirmed to the Associated Press that the Israeli military will continue to occupy five strategic points on Lebanese soil even after forces withdraw as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. Another unnamed Israeli political official quoted by Israeli media also confirmed the news, adding that “Israel will continue to vigorously enforce the ceasefire in Lebanon”. The source said the assassination earlier today of a Hamas official in Lebanon was a demonstration of that intent.
