Lebanon Annex Puts 24/7 Cell Before IDF Pullback

The published Israel-Lebanon-U.S. framework and security-annex reporting show the first Israeli redeployment in southern Lebanon depends on a military coordination mechanism, Lebanese army deployment and verified Hezbollah disarmament. The framework text was published publicly, and the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon is meant to operate 24/7 with U.S., Israeli, Lebanese and partner participation. The limited pilot withdrawal is conditional rather than automatic. For Israel, the key is sequencing: no pullback should become a gift to Hezbollah before the Iranian-backed terror army is removed from the border.
