I visited Gaza four times during this war and was on the Israeli side of the Gaza border countless times, starting from October 11, 2023, while the IDF was still finishing up its clearance of Hamas invaders.

The IDF withdrew most of its forces from southern Lebanon early Tuesday, while the military will maintain five outposts a few hundred meters from the border each manned by a company of troops for an indefinite period.

Already overnight the Lebanese army started to deploy to the villages that the IDF was leaving.

According to the Lebanese army, late Monday and early Tuesday its military units were deployed in the following towns: Al-Abbasiya, Al-Majidiya, Kafr Kila – Marjayoun in the Eastern Sector; Al-Adisa, Markaba, Houla, Mays al-Jabal, Blida, Mehibib – Marjayoun in the Central Sector; and Maroun al-Ras and the remaining part of Yaroun – Bint Jbeil in another sector.
