The Israeli military retained five outposts just over its northern border but has otherwise withdrawn from Lebanon in keeping with Tuesday’s deadline, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.
Lebanese soldiers took over positions vacated in 13 villages, the army said. The handover is part of a US-brokered truce between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, according to which a full pullout was set to happen by the extended deadline.
