Satellite images reveal that one year after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the Israeli army continues to maintain five fortified positions in south Lebanon. These positions, located on ridges along the de facto border, allow Israeli forces to oversee several Lebanese border villages, many of which have suffered extensive destruction from strikes and ground operations. The outposts are heavily fortified, with widened access roads and significant military infrastructure, and are situated at strategic points, some deep within Lebanese territory. Despite the truce's requirements for withdrawal, Israel justifies its continued presence as necessary to prevent renewed military activity by Hezbollah in the area.
