On June 29, an anonymous U.S. official said the United States will deploy ground forces in Lebanon and Israel to directly oversee operations of the Lebanese Armed Forces and the Israel Defense Forces. The deployment is intended to allow the U.S. to apply pressure on both sides to fulfill commitments under the U.S.-Israel-Lebanon tripartite framework. CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper will not directly supervise the parties; CENTCOM officers will monitor and report any violations to the White House.
