Israel to 'adjust' troop deployment in one Lebanon pilot zone

The Israeli army will adjust its troop deployment in one of three zones in southern Lebanon where the Lebanese Armed Forces will exercise sole security control, an Israeli military official said Monday.

"The IDF will adjust its force posture in one of the pilot areas in order to enable the Lebanese Armed Forces to carry out their mission, while safeguarding the security of IDF soldiers and preserving its right to self-defence and to remove threats," the official said, without identifying the area.
