According to a Western diplomatic source, Israel is seeking another extension of the deadline for the withdrawal of its troops from southern Lebanon.
This request is likely to raise new concerns in a country that has a history of Israeli occupation.
Israeli troops were supposed to withdraw next week, but a source told the BBC that Israel wanted its military to remain in five positions for another 10 days, until February 28.The ceasefire agreement, which ended the 14-month conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, was brokered by the United States and France and entered into force on November 27.This requires the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon, as well as the removal of Hezbollah fighters and weapons from there.
