An ‘Israeli’ army patrol abducted 19 farmers in the Hasabia district in southern Lebanon, including five Lebanese and 14 Syrians, Al Jadeed reported on 6 January.

According to the report, four of the abductees were women. The women were released, while the rest were taken to ‘Israeli’ territory. The Lebanese channel later reported that one of the detainees was a Lebanese soldier.

‘Israel’ has stated it does not intend to withdraw from south Lebanon following the end of the 60-day ceasefire with the Lebanese government – The Cradle Media report with video.

US envoy Amos Hochstein from Ain al-Tineh, Beirut following talks with Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri:

○ “We are following up on the implementation of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.”

○ “The Israeli army has begun withdrawing from Naqoura and most areas of the western sector of southern Lebanon.”

○ “The Israeli army’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon will continue until the Lebanese army can deploy.”

○ “The Israeli army’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon will continue until it withdraws from all areas of the south.”

Lebanese journalist Khalil Nasrallah comments:

“It is understood from Hochstein’s statement that the Israeli withdrawal will be completed and will continue, but there is something vague about the duration, as he did not mention the 60-day period, which is about to expire.”
