Israeli forces have maintained positions north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon since crossing during 2026 operations against Hezbollah, with a June framework agreement establishing conditional pilot zones for phased redeployment tied to verifiable Lebanese Armed Forces disarmament of non-state groups and infrastructure. Further withdrawals remain conditions-based rather than calendar-driven, with Israeli officials stating the security buffer will persist until Hezbollah is disarmed and the Lebanese army assumes sole control. Recent months show continued IDF strikes, demolitions inside and near the buffer zone, and limited crossings of the yellow line, alongside Hezbollah drone activity. No major progress on broader disarmament north of the river has been confirmed, and scheduled coordination mechanisms have not yet produced additional pullbacks.
