<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Israeli officials say the planned withdrawal of Israeli forces from two villages in southern Lebanon will be delayed pending agreement on a US oversight mechanism, Israel's public broadcaster Kan News reports.</p>
<p>"There are currently no timelines. The withdrawal will take place but it must be done properly," Israeli security officials told Kan News.</p>
<p>They said the pullback would only proceed once clear criteria are set requiring the Lebanese army to act immediately against Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure.</p>
