Israeli Forces Hold 1 Lebanon Buffer Zone as Residents Call Ceasefire Area a Prison

Summary
Israeli forces are still occupying a buffer zone in southern Lebanon, with residents saying movement limits and military controls have turned the ceasefire area into a “prison.”
The occupation is aimed at dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure, even as Trump has said the Lebanon ceasefire is working.
Naqoura, near Lebanon’s southwestern border, shows the layered conflict on the ground: Hezbollah and Iranian flags appear before Israeli positions a few miles from the frontier.
Residents and the report draw parallels between the restrictions in the zone and controls long associated with the occupied West Bank, widening concern over how the ceasefire is being enforced.
