Lebanon's leader on Monday toured parts of his country amid large Israeli gains of Hezbollah weapons. Prime Minister Najib Mikati called for Israel's military to exit the region after a recent cease-fire agreement.

Israel won’t permit Hezbollah operatives to return to villages in southern Lebanon and reestablish infrastructure that would pose a threat to Israeli communities, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday.

Najib Mikati’s visit was part of his tour of Lebanese military positions alongside army chief Joseph Aoun in frontline areas of southern Lebanon. Mikati’s tour comes after the Lebanese government expressed frustration over ongoing Israeli strikes and overflights in the country.

Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Monday visited Lebanese troops positions and U.N. peacekeeper posts in southern Lebanon, touring the region from which Israeli troops and Hezbollah militants are supposed to withdraw under a nearly month-old ceasefire agreement.
