Beirut: The Lebanese army announced on Wednesday its readiness to deploy to the south of the country following the enforcement of a cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah. This move comes as part of efforts to stabilize the region after prolonged hostilities. According to Anadolu Agency, the army's decision to deploy is in response to a request from the Lebanese government. The deployment will be coordinated with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and is in compliance with UN Resolution 1701. This resolution, adopted on August 11, 2006, mandates a complete cessation of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel and calls for the creation of a weapons-free zone between the Blue Line and the Litani River in southern Lebanon, with allowances for the Lebanese army and UNIFIL. The Lebanese army has also advised citizens to delay their return to frontline villages and towns until the Israeli forces withdraw, as stipulated by the cease-fire agreement. The truce was implemented shortly after US Pre sident Joe Biden announced that a proposal to resolve the conflict had been achieved. The agreement aims to halt Israeli airstrikes on Lebanese territories and bring an end to the year-long cross-border confrontations. The conflict has resulted in more than 3,760 fatalities in Lebanon due to Israeli attacks, and over 1 million people have been displaced since last October, as reported by Lebanese health authorities.
