Lebanese Army declare that they are ‘disarming’ Hezbollah
2025-12-08

The Lebanese theatre continues. They locate rockets that were damaged, rendered unusable, and abandoned by #Hezbollah, and declare that they are ‘disarming’...

On December 4th, a video was published showing a Lebanese Army force together with UNIFIL moving through an area west of Marjayoun, south of the Litani.

In the video, a Lebanese Army Land Rover jeep can be seen carrying approximately four rockets, supposedly. The jeep is accompanied by several other Lebanese Army vehicles as well as UNIFIL vehicles. The report claims that the Lebanese Army, accompanied by UNIFIL, acted to dismantle Hezbollah military positions and remove rockets from them.

This is an area that was heavily attacked by Israel (as stated in the report), both during the war and during the ceasefire. The Lebanese Army is coordinated with Hezbollah. It only arrives at sites in southern Lebanon if Hezbollah allows it, for appearances’ sake. The ‘disarmed weapons’ are usually weapons that were already rendered unusable due to Israeli strikes and that Hezbollah had already abandoned.

If the Lebanese Army does, in fact, ‘by mistake’ take functional weapons or weapons that can be restored, they are usually returned to Hezbollah if Hezbollah demands them. The Lebanese state and the Lebanese Army cannot (and do not want to) disarm Hezbollah. Every day that passes—due to the American desire (and sometimes also the Israeli one) to give another chance—further strengthens Hezbollah’s recovery.
