Zawtar al-Gharbiyah conducts tests amid military deployment
The implementation of the South Lebanon Framework Agreement has begun through the execution of the first phase of "Experimental Zones," which include the towns of Zoutar Al Gharbiyah, Frun, and Sarifa, with the goal of gradually transferring security responsibility from Israeli occupation forces to the Lebanese Army under American supervision. During the initial deployment in Zoutar Al Gharbiyah, army units came under gunfire from Israeli occupation forces, hindering the operation and highlighting the challenges faced in implementing the agreement—particularly given the continued presence of Israeli forces nearby and the destruction of many homes in the area. The Lebanese Army’s leadership confirmed that the deployment follows coordination with Lebanon's Military Coordination Group, and that engineering surveys are currently underway to clear war remnants and assess damages. Some municipalities oppose describing the area as “Experimental Zones,” while still welcoming the deployment of the army and its support for security. The success of this phase remains dependent on the commitment of all parties to create appropriate security conditions, especially as Israel seeks to obstruct the implementation of the agreement by damaging infrastructure and attempting to assert control over the area. This poses a significant test for the future of the experimental zones.
