Hezbollah weapons deadline: What’s next for Lebanon amid Israeli strikes?

AI Summary

long article 5 min

As the Lebanese government's end-of-2025 deadline for Hezbollah's disarmament approaches, the group refuses to relinquish its weapons, calling the plan a US-Israeli initiative. Tasked with disarming Hezbollah, the Lebanese military proposed a phased approach, beginning in the south near the Israeli border and moving north. Hezbollah has rejected the plan, asserting it serves Israeli interests amidst ongoing Israeli aggression and US influence in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes within Lebanon continue, targeting villages in the south and even reaching Beirut, where a top Hezbollah commander was killed in November. Recent strikes have also resulted in the death of a Lebanese army officer in Sidon.
