Lebanon’s PM says first phase of Hezbollah disarmament ends in days

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated in a statement on Saturday that the first phase of the plan to confiscate weapons from the Hezbollah terrorist group south of the Litani River will be completed in a "few days."

Salam's comments came as tensions continued to boil along Lebanon's eastern border, where Israel accuses Hezbollah of ignoring calls for disarmament and carrying out violations of a ceasefire agreed in November 2024, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

Israel continued striking Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon since, while publicly urging Lebanese authorities to fulfill a commitment under the truce to disarm Hezbollah, warning that it would act "as necessary" if Lebanon does not take steps against the Iran-aligned proxy terror group.
