Israel Postpones Lebanon Withdrawal in Sign That War Is Far From Over

JERUSALEM—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Friday that Israeli troops will remain in Lebanon beyond the 60-day deadline set by the ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.

Netanyahu’s office said Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon was "conditioned on the Lebanese Army deploying in southern Lebanon and fully and effectively enforcing the agreement." Under the ceasefire, the Lebanese Army is responsible for the elimination of all Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon and the prevention of the terrorist group’s rearmament.
