Amid a ceasefire, Israeli forces continue operations within a designated 'Yellow Line' buffer zone encompassing 55 Lebanese villages. The main activity involves reshaping the terrain with engineering machinery like D9 bulldozers to demolish and clear land. Within the Israeli security establishment, it is understood that forces will soon be more strongly entrenched along the line, with fire-control measures similar to those used in Gaza. The army is seeking to establish an organized ceasefire enforcement mechanism, though gaps remain on how to handle areas outside the Yellow Line, with the military hoping for future authorization to conduct raids up to the Litani River.
