💨 Abstract

The Lebanese army has taken operational control in southern Lebanon, aiming to disarm non-state groups and secure the area. Israel, however, claims Hezbollah is rearming, and tensions remain high. Lebanon seeks to assert state control over all weapons, but Hezbollah refuses full disarmament. The U.N. welcomes the army's control, while Israel continues strikes, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire. Lebanon's president emphasizes state control over decisions of war and peace.
