The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, declared that he has ordered the extension of the security zone in southern Lebanon, suggesting an intensification of the Israeli military presence in this country. Netanyahu commented that the decision aims to neutralise the threat of invasion and keep anti-tank missile launches away from the border. The expansion of Israeli control is due to the fact that the Lebanese Shiite group Hizbullah has the capability to fire rockets, which led to discussions on how to eliminate this threat. The leader mentioned other sites occupied by Israeli forces as examples of how security has been transformed for Israel. In Gaza, there was discussion about the positioning of troops along the yellow line, despite it being assumed to be a temporary action following the ceasefire.
