Israel has delayed its withdrawal from southern Lebanon, citing Lebanon's failure to meet ceasefire terms. While the US mediates an extension, Hezbollah threatens retaliation.

Israeli forces will remain in southern Lebanon beyond a 60-day deadline stipulated in a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah because its terms have not been fully implemented, the Israeli prime minister's office said on Friday.

The Israel Defense Forces insisted it was “not forcing the Palestinians to evacuate,” but said it had “allowed residents of the camp to evacuate … through an organized and secured point.”
