The Lebanese army has allowed a group of residents from Western Zoter to enter the area after a three-day waiting period, according to the Arab Desk. The report marks the first known instance of such access being granted. The area, located in southern Lebanon, has been subject to restrictions amid the ongoing security situation. The move comes as the Lebanese army gradually asserts control in the region under the terms of the November 2024 ceasefire agreement. The Zioneer has previously reported on plans for the Lebanese army to deploy to areas vacated by the IDF, though the timeline has been uncertain.
