  • Israeli security agencies are reviewing a plan to redeploy forces in Lebanon and reduce the area occupied by the army from 10 kilometers to no more than 4 kilometers.
  • The proposal would replace the existing Yellow Line with a new Gray Line and requires approval from Israel’s political leadership and security cabinet.
  • Security sources said the plan could support diplomatic efforts, while other reports describe possible large-scale operations beyond the Yellow Line.

As Israel intensifies and expands its strikes on Lebanon, security agencies are examining a plan that would redraw the army’s deployment in areas currently occupied by Israel.

The proposal would limit the military presence to an area extending no more than 4 kilometers, compared with the 10 kilometers currently in place. It would also create a new boundary, known as the Gray Line, to replace the Yellow Line.

The plan is expected to go first to Israel’s political leadership and then to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet for approval. Security sources said the move could give the diplomatic track fresh momentum.

But the Gray Line proposal is emerging alongside reports of other plans for large-scale military operations extending beyond the Yellow Line. Israeli forces continue operating in the Ali al-Taher area, where they are seeking to demolish an underground facility and establish a new defensive position.
