Lebanese army reportedly cooperating with Israel to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon and disarm the terror group and various militias that threatened northern Israel.
The Lebanese military is working to rapidly dismantle Hezbollah forces operating in southern Lebanon, using Israeli intelligence to locate the Iranian-backed terror group’s infrastructure, according to American and Israeli officials.
Last November, Israel, Hezbollah, and the Lebanese government agreed to a ceasefire deal, brokered by France and the Biden administration, according to which Israel would withdraw from Lebanese territory gradually, with Lebanon’s armed forces filling the void south of the Litani River.
As part of the agreement, Beirut was obligated to ensure that Hezbollah forces would not operate in southern Lebanon, with the central government required to exercise its sovereignty over all Lebanese territory, preventing weapons shipments from Iran to Shi’ite militia groups.
