Israel's constrained movement in southern Lebanon

Israeli freedom of movement in southern Lebanon has dropped to its lowest levels since the ceasefire agreement took effect, as limited operations continue, which the Israeli army attributes to "security requirements." Conversely, Hezbollah has so far maintained its commitment to the ceasefire, while monitoring any violations. Lebanese-Israeli negotiations are ongoing in Washington amid disagreements over the withdrawal mechanism, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirming that forces will not withdraw from sites they consider to be secure, while the U.S. Secretary of State indicated progress in the talks and the need for more time.
