The Lebanese army has for the first time ever entered Hezbollah bases north of the Litani River, and has nearly completed dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure in the south of the country, the Lebanese Al Jadeed network reports.
The report notes that Hezbollah has never before surrendered bases to the Lebanese army north of the river.
According to the report, the Lebanese government will reach an agreement with Hezbollah regarding a phased relinquishing of the weapons it possesses.
Earlier in the day, Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah said the Iran-aligned terror group is ready to enter talks with the Lebanese government on a national defense strategy, with a focus on ensuring the removal of Israeli troops from Lebanon’s territory.
Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah ended with a November 2024 ceasefire that resulted in the withdrawal of Israeli troops, except for in five key positions near the border. Israel says it intends to hand the posts over to Lebanese troops once it is sure the security situation allows it.
