Israel Redirects Troops From Lebanon to Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict

The Israeli military shifts focus to Gaza as a ceasefire with Hezbollah in Lebanon takes effect, raising hopes for a potential truce in the region.

Israel has begun moving troops from southern Lebanon to the Gaza Strip following a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in late November.
The 98th Division, comprising 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers, has completed a three-month campaign against the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.
Under the terms of the ceasefire, Israeli forces are required to withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days.
In Gaza, Israeli forces continue operations against Hamas and other militant groups in the heavily damaged territory.
Speculation grows about a possible ceasefire in Gaza, though no formal agreement has yet been reached.
