The report stated that the Israeli military recently completed the destruction of Hezbollah tunnels beneath the Ali Tahir heights in the Nabatayah region of southern Lebanon, subsequently formulating the aforementioned relocation plan.

The new deployment line, referred to as the "grey line," will replace the current "yellow line." The report said that this plan still requires approval from the Israeli government. According to the plan, the Israeli military will build new military outposts within the reduced "safe zone" and use these as bases to conduct military operations to protect residential areas in northern Lebanon.
