N12 journalist Sapir Lipkin reports that the IDF's pilot program for withdrawal in Zawtar al-Gharbiyya in the Nabatieh area began today, with the Lebanese army entering the village. The village is described as showing extensive destruction. The pilot program involves IDF withdrawal and Lebanese army deployment.
Tuesday afternoon, N12 journalist Sapir Lipkin reported from Zawtar al-Gharbiyya that the IDF's pilot withdrawal program began, with the Lebanese army entering the village and revealing extensive destruction. The village was described as largely destroyed.
The Zioneer reported earlier today at 14:54 Jerusalem that Lebanese civilians had entered Zawtar al-Gharbiyya after IDF withdrawal and found destruction. The Zioneer's Monday thread, published at 16:19 Jerusalem, shows the progression: an Israeli official confirmed to N12 that the withdrawal would begin Tuesday; the Lebanese army announced it would enter villages; the Lebanese army entered the village, with footage showing APCs and civilians returning; additional video from Sapir Lipkin documented the deployment; and Lebanese civilians entered and found destruction. The corroboration evolved from a single Israeli official on Monday to multiple sources, including N12, Lebanese sources, and on-the-ground footage by Tuesday.
The Nabatieh area has been a focal point of IDF operations against Hezbollah, as The Zioneer has reported in previous strikes. The pilot program is part of a broader withdrawal agreement, with the Lebanese army taking over security and coordinating with a military monitoring group.
The full scope of the pilot program and the timeline for further withdrawals remain unclear. The IDF has not commented on the destruction or the pilot's next phases. The reports rely on a single Israeli media source and Lebanese footage, without independent verification.
