The new security annex to the Lebanese‑Israeli agreement details a four‑step plan. First, the parties will clear a designated area in southern Litani of Hezbollah presence and destroy related infrastructure, with verification by an agreed third party. Second, highly trained Lebanese forces will maintain control to prevent any return of non‑state armed activity.
Israel and Lebanon will establish a joint military coordination team to report to their respective political authorities through indirect military channels, with verification occurring alongside the clearance operations. Once the agreed disarmament and dismantlement is successfully completed, Israel commits to a phased withdrawal of its forces from Lebanese territory, eventually restoring the status quo in line with the expansion of the Lebanese army. The United States will facilitate periodic reviews, and the parties may amend the annex by mutual agreement, resolving any disputes through trilateral discussions.
