mike tobin is live in tel aviv with the latest on all of that.e. >> the two cease-fire deals are troubled and fragile. as you mentioned, the cease-fire mandated that the israeli armed forces be out of the south of lebanon today. the army is still there. israel's leaders say the lebanese armed forces have failed to take a position that would prevent hezbollah from digging in and rearming. so withdrawal according to israel's leaders will now be gradual. the troops on the ground there are clashes. lebanese health ministry says 22 people were killed today in the south of lebanon. gaza strip there been clashes as well with the cease-fire there hanging by a thread. israeli forces have not pulled out. they are not allowing palestinians to return to their homes in the northern end of the gaza strip. that is because palestinians to form groups and push towards the idf positions. the reason the idf did not withdrawal is that prime minister netanyahu said thomas was in breach of the agreement. it stated civilians be released before female soldiers. you saw

mike: looking forward to your report in the hours ahead, mike tobin, thanks a lot.o will this deal hold? let's ask retired air force general david deptula. good morning. >> good morning, how are you doing. mike: obviously a fragile situation, sir. you know the hatred on both sides of the issue, does the deal hold? >> well, as congressman smith mentioned, it's going to be really, really challenging. i think there is motivation on both sides to assure that it does, but you know, the perceptions, particularly inside israel are divided over the deal. 30% saying the cease-fire's surrender to hamas and 70% embracing it as a start to get the remaining hostages back. while it's challenging and much can affect the deal, i mean, if hamas breaks the cease-fire then israel can continue firing, but then the remaining hostages would continue to suffer so that's the quandary that israel faces and it's part of the motivation, again, on both sides to do their best to assure that it continues. mike: do you expect the regime in tehran to do everything possible to try to derail this ag
