Israel says it will scale back presence in Lebanon if Hizbollah disarmed

Israel announced its willingness to reduce troop presence in southern Lebanon if the Lebanese armed forces disarm Hizbollah, following the Lebanese cabinet’s approval of a US plan for disarmament. However, Israeli air strikes continue against Hizbollah, and Lebanese officials express dissatisfaction with Israel’s conditional offer, urging it to demonstrate goodwill in line with the US roadmap.
