Israel to return first part of captured territories to Lebanon within days — CNN

Israeli authorities are preparing to return control of some Lebanese territories currently occupied by Israeli forces to Beirut in the coming days, CNN reported, citing an unnamed US administration official.

The first "pilot zone," currently occupied by Israel, will be returned to Lebanese control "in a matter of days." "Further pilot zones are being identified and planned," the official said. "CENTCOM is coordinating with both countries to move forward."

The US administration official added that the US "will soon begin outreach to international partners to help the Lebanese Government effectively restore sovereignty in these zones and across their country more broadly."
