Israeli forces remain active in southern Lebanon, with the country's military chief visiting troops there on Sunday and vowing decisive action against Hezbollah despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement. During a state ceremony the same day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel's military would keep its forces stationed in southern Lebanon for an unspecified duration to safeguard northern Israeli residents and all citizens. The remark came amid reported disagreements between Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump over the ceasefire deal, which Trump criticized as showing Netanyahu's ingratitude. Separately, Netanyahu claimed some Lebanese Christian villages had sought annexation by Israel, a claim denied by local mayors.
