Lebanese Army

The Lebanese Army is the national military of Lebanon. Recent news highlights its involvement in several critical situations. Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the army has reportedly taken over security in southern Lebanon, a region historically dominated by Hezbollah. This move follows intense international pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah. The army has also announced the completion of the first phase of disarming non-state groups in the south, aiming to establish a state monopoly on arms, though without directly mentioning Hezbollah. Furthermore, the army suffered casualties in clashes resulting from an Israeli operation in eastern Lebanon. The Lebanese Army's actions are crucial for maintaining stability within Lebanon, particularly in the context of regional conflicts and the ongoing debate surrounding Hezbollah's disarmament.
