A classified annex to the recently finalized Israel-Lebanon maritime border deal reportedly guarantees the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) continued freedom of action within a designated security zone. According to a source familiar with the agreement, Israeli troop withdrawals will be contingent on real-time security assessments, rather than adhering to a fixed schedule. This provision aims to allow the IDF to respond to evolving threats and maintain operational capabilities. Simultaneously, the IDF announced the demolition of a 200-meter-long tunnel constructed by Hezbollah and used as a drone launch facility. The tunnel’s location was not disclosed, but officials stated it posed a significant security risk. The annex and tunnel demolition underscore the ongoing security concerns that shaped the negotiation process and continue to influence the implementation of the agreement. The deal seeks to resolve a long-standing maritime dispute over gas-rich areas in the Mediterranean Sea.
