Lebanese Army to deploy planned pilot program securing Hezbollah-free zones
A pilot program under which Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) troops will enter designated areas in southern Lebanon to verify they have been cleared of Hezbollah operatives and weapons is expected to begin in the near future, two sources familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.
The development follows last week's meeting in Rome between the Israeli and Lebanese delegations, led by Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter and Lebanese Ambassador to the United States Nada Hamadeh Mouawad, under the auspices of senior US administration officials.
An Israeli official said after last week's talks that the sides had reached an agreement on the two designated pilot areas.
