Army Assumes Security Control in Southern Region

The Lebanese army has assumed security control in southern Lebanon, historically influenced by Hezbollah, amid concerns of an Israeli military escalation. International pressure, particularly from the US, has increased for Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah following a ceasefire in 2024. While the army claims progress in dismantling Hezbollah’s infrastructure, Israel remains skeptical and continues its military actions in the region. Lebanese officials face challenges in disarming Hezbollah, which maintains significant support and refuses to negotiate on its weapons.
