Israel's 'pilot zones' turn Lebanese sovereignty on its head

Israel launched 'pilot zones' in late July in Froun, Srifa, and Zawtar al-Gharbiya, areas outside its current occupation but heavily damaged, where the Lebanese army is to take exclusive control as Israeli troops withdraw. This initiative, part of a US-brokered framework, aims to restore Lebanese sovereignty and disarm Hezbollah, though Israel has reportedly fired near Lebanese troops during their deployment, complicating the process.
