Lebanon's army has depleted its supply of explosives after intensifying efforts to dismantle weapons caches belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel. Despite the shortage, troops continue to search for and seal off new arms sites, relying on intelligence provided by Israel and international partners. The army's operations mark a significant shift in Lebanon's approach to Hezbollah, a group that once dominated the country's political and military landscape, but progress outside the south remains uncertain due to political sensitivities and the risk of civil unrest. The United States has pledged additional military aid to support the disarmament process, but full disarmament faces obstacles, including ongoing Israeli military activity and the need for political consensus within Lebanon. Hezbollah, while cooperating in the south, has warned against broader disarmament efforts without a comprehensive political agreement, and the future of its arsenal remains a contentious issue.
