Al Jazeera reported that despite the framework agreement signed between Lebanon and Israel in June, which aimed for a phased Israeli withdrawal, Israel continues to occupy large areas in southern Lebanon and has systematically demolished houses and infrastructure in dozens of villages. Israeli Defense Minister Katz previously stated that there would be no withdrawal, hinting at a potential long-term occupation. Currently, the Israeli-occupied zone extends 10 kilometers deep into southern Lebanon, and house demolitions continue behind the "Yellow Line." Analysts suggest that Israel's actions aim to clear and render these frontline villages uninhabitable, mimicking its strategy in Gaza. Furthermore, Israel is discussing the establishment of a "Grey Line," potentially extending 4 kilometers into Lebanese territory, to serve as a buffer zone and prevent Lebanese civilians from rebuilding their homes.
