Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says his country’s troops are “staying indefinitely” in a buffer zone on the border with Lebanon, adding their deployment there is “situation-dependent”.

This is situation-dependent, not time-dependent,” he said at a news conference, according to a statement issued by his office.
