Israeli officials said the military will not withdraw troops from southern Lebanon or offer concessions before negotiations begin. The statement directly contradicted an earlier report from LBCI, a Lebanese broadcaster, which claimed the United States had informed Lebanon that Israel planned to pull back some forces as a goodwill gesture.
soldiers have maintained positions inside southern Lebanon since operations began last year. The area remains under military control while talks between the two countries have not yet started. A photograph dated June 7, 2026, shows troops positioned near the border as viewed from the Israeli side. No timeline for negotiations or any troop movements has been announced by either side.
