Israel intensifies attacks on Lebanon as Hezbollah disarmament is sidelined

Hezbollah recently launched missiles and drones towards an Israeli military site in Haifa in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader. Israel responded with a fierce air campaign on Lebanon, resulting in casualties and displacements. The conflict complicates Lebanon’s efforts to disarm Hezbollah as part of a ceasefire deal. The Lebanese government declared Hezbollah’s actions illegal, but the group’s involvement in the fighting continues. The presence of Israeli troops in southern Lebanon makes disarming Hezbollah difficult, as it could lead to renewed resistance. The Lebanese Armed Forces face economic challenges but have proven effective in past operations. There is no political consensus in Lebanon for direct confrontation with Hezbollah to avoid internal strife.
