U.S. General Monitors Zionist Troops’ Withdrawal from Lebanon Under Ceasefire Agreement

A senior U.S. military officer visited Beirut on Wednesday to oversee the withdrawal of Zionist troops from Lebanon as part of a ceasefire agreement reached last month. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that Zionist forces had pulled out of the town of Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon, marking their first withdrawal under the agreement.

Army General Michael Kurilla, CENTCOM’s commander, visited the monitoring headquarters in Beirut, where he met with General Joseph Aoun, the commander of Lebanon’s armed forces. Kurilla’s visit was aimed at overseeing the ongoing process of Zionist Forces’ withdrawal and the replacement of Zionist forces by the Lebanese Armed Forces in Al-Khiam. He called the move “an important first step” in the implementation of a lasting cessation of aggression.
