Lebanon is nearing the completion of Hezbollah’s disarmament south of the Litani River, as confirmed by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, ahead of a year-end deadline tied to a US-backed ceasefire deal with Israel. The agreement mandates the disarmament of the Iran-aligned group, with the Lebanese army tasked to establish a state monopoly on arms. Following this phase, the plan will advance to confiscating weapons north of the river. Salam’s announcement comes amid ongoing discussions on civilian issues and the safe return of displaced persons following the recent conflict.
