—❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇺🇸 NEW: General Jasper Jeffers of the U.S. Army, head of the ceasefire monitoring committee in Lebanon, says the Lebanese Army will take control of all of the remaining villages in Southern Lebanon by the February 18th deadline (Tuesday)

General Jeffers, however, seemed to use vague language, implying that while Israel will indeed withdraw from the population centers, the IDF may remain in some ‘unpopulated’ areas of the Lebanese border.

If this is the case, it is once again a violation of the ceasefire terms, and it risks downplaying the Israeli occupation of Lebanese lands, if the Lebanese Government agrees to this state of affairs.

The US and Israel can’t simply interpret the ceasefire in whatever way they wish. It is a dangerous precedent.
