Sources close to Lebanon’s president tell MTV Lebanon that today’s talks were successful, with an operational and detailed discussion on how the operational part of the framework agreement will be carried out. Today’s discussion covered the two pilot areas. One is an area previously occupied that the IDF will withdraw from. The other borders IDF-controlled territory, where the Lebanese Army will strengthen its presence. Until now the IDF insisted the pilot areas be outside its control, while Lebanon insisted both be areas from which the IDF withdraws. The two sides reached a compromise.

Sources close to Lebanon’s president tell MTV Lebanon that today’s talks were successful, with an operational and detailed discussion on how the operational part of the framework agreement will be carried out.

Today’s discussion covered the two pilot areas. One is an area previously occupied that the IDF will withdraw from. The other borders IDF-controlled territory, where the Lebanese Army will strengthen its presence.

Until now the IDF insisted the pilot areas be outside its control, while Lebanon insisted both be areas from which the IDF withdraws. The two sides reached a compromise.

The second issue discussed was the implementation start date. Preparations are underway for this to happen within days or hours. An announcement including the date is expected, hopefully before the end of the week.

The military air picture, visible via http://FlightRadar24.com, over the Strait of Hormuz region appears relatively light despite CENTCOM’s fourth consecutive round of strikes against Iranian military targets. Currently visible are 2 U.S. Air Force KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling tankers, 1 KC-135 Stratotanker, and 1 U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft. Also visible are several aircraft belonging to Gulf partner nations, though their missions cannot be determined from open-source flight data alone. They may be supporting coalition operations, providing defensive coverage in anticipation of further Iranian attacks, or simply conducting routine operations. As al

The military air picture, visible via FlightRadar24.com, over the Strait of Hormuz region appears relatively light despite CENTCOM’s fourth consecutive round of strikes against Iranian military targets.

Currently visible are 2 U.S. Air Force KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling tankers, 1 KC-135 Stratotanker, and 1 U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft.

Also visible are several aircraft belonging to Gulf partner nations, though their missions cannot be determined from open-source flight data alone. They may be supporting coalition operations, providing defensive coverage in anticipation of further Iranian attacks, or simply conducting routine operations.

As always, the publicly visible air picture represents only a fraction of the force. Additional tankers, fighters, ISR platforms, and other support aircraft are almost certainly airborne but not broadcasting on publicly accessible flight-tracking networks while supporting ongoing operations.
