Israel Deems Lebanon's Efforts to Disarm Hezbollah Insufficient

The Israeli government considers Lebanon's efforts to disarm Hezbollah insufficient, noting that the Islamist movement is attempting to rearm with Iranian support. The Lebanese army announced the completion of the first phase of the disarmament plan in the area between the border with Israel and the Litani River. However, Israel expresses doubts about the effectiveness of these efforts, emphasizing Hezbollah's continued strategy of strengthening its terrorist infrastructure. This statement highlights the tension and lack of trust between Israel and Lebanon, as well as the role of Iran in regional instability.
