Zionist Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed on Tuesday that troops remained in "five positions" in south Lebanon past a pullout deadline, vowing action against any truce violation by militant group Hezbollah.

The military "will remain in a buffer zone in Lebanon with five control positions, and will continue to act forcefully and uncompromisingly against any Hezbollah violation," said Katz in a statement shortly after an extended deadline expired for the Zionist entity to withdraw from Lebanon under the November 27 truce deal.—AFP
