The Lebanese Army will submit a report to the government on its operations south of the Litani, a month after approving its exclusive-weapons plan. The report will highlight ongoing military reinforcements, the construction of British-supported observation towers, and the absence of new illegal weapons in the area.
The army operates freely across the region except in Israeli-occupied zones. The government may use the report to press for an Israeli withdrawal to allow further implementation of the plan, particularly north of the Litani.
The remaining months of the year are critical, with potential scenarios including Israeli action against Hezbollah, Hezbollah operations against Israel, or harassment of the army if Israel does not withdraw. The government faces a delicate balance between Israeli refusal to pull back and Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm outside the south of the Litani.
