Lebanese troops have begun entering south Lebanon after reaching a compromise deal over Hezbollah’s presence in the region. More than 15,000 Lebanese troops are expected as part of a contingent that will stretch to the border with Israel. Hezbollah has agreed to drastically scale back its visible armed presence in the south but will be allowed to maintain access to its operation centers and weaponry.
