IDF withdrawal from Bint Jbeil incomplete

Israeli forces have begun a partial withdrawal from the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil without fully capturing it or eliminating the last pockets of Hezbollah resistance. The development is seen as a significant setback for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had aimed for a decisive military conclusion. The IDF has not managed to achieve its stated objective of securing the town completely. This withdrawal occurs within the context of the ongoing, fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
