The White House announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend the deadline for Israeli troops to withdraw from southern Lebanon until February 18, 2025. This follows Israel's request for more time to complete the pullback, as the Lebanese army has not fully deployed in the region. The decision comes amid violent protests in southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces killed at least 22 protesters demanding a ceasefire agreement be honored. The situation remains tense as both sides continue negotiations.
