Lebanon condemns Israeli presence: “An occupation”
Lebanon condemned all Israeli presence in the country after the Israeli military decided to remain in five “strategic locations” despite the deadline, writes Reuters. According to a spokesman for the Lebanese government, it is an occupation.
The country will request help from the UN Security Council to “address Israeli violations and force Israel to immediately withdraw”.
According to the ceasefire agreement, Israel is to withdraw from the border area in southern Lebanon by today and the Lebanese military will take control of security in the area.
Israel remains in five key locations despite the deadline
The Israeli military has withdrawn from border villages in southern Lebanon, but will remain in five locations, writes AFP.
In Khiam, one of the places where Israel has now decided to stop, bulldozers have been seen working on what appeared to be fortifications, the news agency writes. This could indicate that Israel plans to stay well beyond today's deadline.
According to the ceasefire agreement, Israel is to withdraw from the border area in southern Lebanon by today and the Lebanese military will take control of security in the area.
Last Sunday, Hezbollah leader Naim Kassem said that Israel must withdraw completely by Tuesday and that "there is no excuse for five positions or other details".

Israel: Entering the next phase of negotiations this week
Israel and Hamas will enter negotiations on the next phase of the ceasefire in Gaza this week, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said according to AFP.
The ceasefire agreement is divided into three phases. The second phase of the negotiations was originally scheduled to begin on February 3, but Israel is only now announcing that it is ready.
“We had a Security Council meeting last night and decided to begin negotiations on the second phase,” says Saar.
According to him, Israel continues to demand a complete demilitarization of the Palestinian territory. The second phase of the ceasefire has been described as significantly more difficult than the first. The idea is that the remaining hostages will then be released in exchange for Israeli forces withdrawing completely from Gaza.
