U.N. Accuses Israel of Violating Ceasefire by Not Fully Leaving South Lebanon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations' Lebanon envoy is accusing Israel of violating the
November ceasefire by not fully withdrawing from southern Lebanon by
today's deadline. While some Israeli troops have left the area, Israel
has decided to keep forces at five strategic locations. On Monday,
Israel carried out a deadly drone strike in southern Lebanon, the target
reportedly being a Hamas commander.
