The Israeli Defense Forces have withdrawn from the southern Lebanese towns of Bint Jbeil and Khiam following the implementation of a ceasefire. In Bint Jbeil, the IDF pulled back to the town's outskirts and rear positions, where they maintain temporary military bases. Recent aerial monitoring confirms a further withdrawal of vehicles from the vicinity of the city stadium, with units moving back to staging points near Jamil Jaber School, Khallet Al-Mashta, and areas close to Bint Jbeil Governmental Hospital. Only three vehicles and two disabled bulldozers, likely damaged in prior clashes, remain in the vacated stadium area.
