\u201cThere has been a delay at a number of stages as a result of the procrastination in the withdrawal from the Israeli enemy\u2019s side,\u201d the army said in a statement on Saturday, PressTV reported.<\/p>\n
It went on to confirm it was \u201cready to continue its deployment as soon as the Israeli enemy withdraws.\u201d<\/p>\n
The army urged the public to \u201cbe cautious in heading back to the southern border areas, due to the presence of mines and suspicious objects left behind\u201d by Israeli forces.<\/p>\n
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Friday that the regime\u2019s forces will remain in southern Lebanon beyond the Sunday deadline stipulated in the ceasefire agreement with the Hezbollah resistance movement.<\/p>\n
The agreement, signed in late November last year, mandated a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon within 60 days, concluding this Sunday.<\/p>\n
However, Netanyahu\u2019s office stated that Israel will not meet this deadline, asserting that the Lebanese military has not yet established full control of the region and that Hezbollah forces have not fully withdrawn north of the Litani River.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the Lebanese state has not fully enforced the ceasefire agreement, the gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops will continue,\u201d the statement claimed, suggesting a phased withdrawal rather than a complete pullout by the deadline.<\/p>\n
Israel was forced to accept the\u00a0ceasefire with Hezbollah after suffering heavy losses following almost 14 months\u00a0of fighting and failing to achieve its goals in its aggression on Lebanon.<\/p>\n
The truce deal came into effect on November 27. It will last\u00a0for 60 days in the hope of reaching a permanent cessation of hostilities.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, an international monitoring committee, headed by the United States, is tasked with overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n
