Residents have started returning to the town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh following the withdrawal of Israeli troops. This withdrawal is part of a broader U.S.-brokered framework aimed at stabilizing the region through the phased withdrawal of Israeli forces and the deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon.

Market pricing now indicates a 2.6 percent likelihood of a full withdrawal by July 31.
