Lebanon President Joseph Aoun to Al-Hadath: Concentration of weapons in the hands of the state will be achieved despite difficulties and obstacles. Today's government meeting will complete the expected decisions regarding this. We are waiting for the Lebanese army's plan to regulate the weapons to discuss and approve it.
A Hezbollah operative involved in collecting intelligence on Israeli troops was killed in an airstrike in southern Lebanon's Aynata earlier today, the IDF says.
The military says the operative's actions were a violation of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
An advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader says that wise people in #Lebanon must prevent the disarmament of Hezbollah, and the Lebanese Foreign Ministry responds: We remind the leadership in #Tehran that Iran should pay attention to the issues of its people instead of interfering in matters that do not concern it.
Iran's opposition to disarming Hezbollah is condemnable: Lebanon.
Lebanon attempts to dismantle Hezbollah - Iran sets a red line.
Colonel (Res.) Dr. Jacques Neria, a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs and Security, reveals that the Lebanese government has taken a dramatic decision to dismantle Hezbollah and its weapons by the end of the year. According to him, there are actions on the ground, including preparations by the Lebanese army against weapons depots east of Tyre and violent clashes in the Bekaa, but significant Iranian involvement is disrupting the process. Iran's foreign minister and Khamenei's advisor have already made it clear to the Lebanese government that this "will not happen," and the army is preparing to defend the northern perimeter of Beirut for fear of escalation.
Neria emphasized that Hezbollah faces three options: integrate into the political system and become a party, prepare for a fight for its status while retaining its weapons, or divert fire toward Israel. "I really hope Hezbollah receives the blows it deserves," he said, "because that's the only way it will understand that it must change course."
