Lebanon’s military starts ‘pilot zone’ takeover in south

The Lebanese army is set to take charge of security in three “pilot zone” villages in southern Lebanon, according to the United States. The villages of Froun, Srifa and Zawtar al-Gharbiya were named by the US State Department on Monday as the first areas that will trial the implementation of the US-mediated framework agreement. Under the plan, the Israeli military is set to perform a phased retreat from the locations it occupies in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese military will then take over security arrangements and oversee the disarmament of the armed Hezbollah group.
