1st phase of plan to disarm Hezbollah south of Litani will end in ‘few days,’ Lebanese PM says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe first phase of the plan to confiscate Hezbollah weapons south of the Litani River will end in a “few days,” Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam says in a statement.
The statement comes amid fears that conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group could soon erupt again.
Israel and Lebanon agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire in November 2024, ending more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that severely weakened the Iran-backed group. Under the deal, Lebanon’s army was to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani by the end of the year before tackling the rest of the country.
