A draft agreement published by Israeli news outlet N12 stipulates that the IDF will remain on the Yellow Line in southern Lebanon while American forces enter the area to assist, according to the report. The details were published for the first time by N12 reporter Yaron Avraham.
Israeli journalist Yaron Avraham (N12) published details of a reported agreement Friday evening stipulating that the IDF will remain on the Yellow Line — the current forward Israeli deployment in southern Lebanon — while U.S. forces enter Lebanese territory to assist. The document outlines the division of roles between the two militaries.
As The Zioneer previously reported, Israel and Lebanon were expected to sign a memorandum of understanding within the hour as of 20:01 Jerusalem time, with the IDF holding the Yellow Line until Hezbollah disarms. An earlier report indicated Jerusalem had conditionally agreed to a ceasefire framework requiring Israeli forces to remain in a security zone.
The new details provide the first indication of a U.S. ground military role in the arrangement. The agreement's full text and the exact areas of U.S. deployment remain unverified, and no official confirmation from the IDF, the U.S. military, or the Lebanese government has been issued. The report is based on a single source — the N12 broadcast — and should be treated as a developing story.
