The Israeli pullback from the town of Bint Jbail appeared to be in preparation for a new incursion along a different part of the border zone. Hours later, troops and tanks massed farther to the east on the Israeli side of the frontier, Lebanese security officials said early Sunday.

Where do you think they got that account from? The IDF

Unless the Media guessed they were launching a new offensive and were embedded with the troops as they fleed from Bint Jbail

"new incursion" around one of Hezbollahs biggest strongholds, one does that say? They were afraid of it...

And what did they do over the next week with those forces? They advanced like 3 miles and took over some mounds of dirt while suffering constant ambushes

The article says retreat...they retreated, if you are going to twist everything so far you can't ignore people who say the IDF were but a fly to Hezbollah who simply "prepared for new incursions" at other sectors, they never retreated from one square inch

Not always win, but it''d be way more dangerous for the israelis.

I'm glad there is a ceasefire. Hopefully it will last more or less intact for a while at least

The article says retreat because Hezzbollah said it. They continued their advance else where and continued to take territory. Yes they faced stiff resistance, but continued marching forward.
