Hezbollah wants to rearm and resume its threat to Israel.
This news from December is not good enough even if narrowly successful eventually:
The first phase of the plan to confiscate weapons from the Hezbollah terrorist group south of the Litani River will end in a "few days," Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said in a statement on Saturday.
Salam's comments came as tensions continued to boil along Lebanon's eastern border, where Israel accuses Hezbollah of ignoring calls for disarmament and carrying out violations of a ceasefire agreed in November 2024.
We'll see how well that goes and what the next phase brings:
A US-backed ceasefire agreed in November 2024 required the disarmament of Lebanon's Iran-aligned Hezbollah, beginning in areas south of the river, the area adjacent to Israel.
Israel is not happy--as in a dramatically kinetic way--about Hezbollah's persistent drive to rebuild a military threat to Israel.
As long as Hezbollah has the Bekaa Valley, it can return south of the Litani and restock weapons.
