Lebanon Aims to Disarm Hezbollah

Beirut, Lebanon – The Lebanese army aims to complete the first phase of disarming Hezbollah by the end of 2025, amidst Israeli threats and military actions. Army commander Rodolphe Haykal plans to report progress on January 8, while Israel claims Hezbollah is rebuilding its capabilities. The next phase involves operations north of the Litani River, where Hezbollah’s disarmament is contested, leading to potential political tension. With Iran’s Foreign Minister visiting during this period, the situation remains complex as Lebanon seeks to assert state sovereignty against external pressures.
