The Lebanese army has significantly increased its presence along the border with Israel, deploying nearly 10,000 troops and establishing new posts in areas once dominated by Hezbollah. Since the ceasefire that ended the 14-month conflict, the army has closed smuggling routes, dismantled or stored large quantities of unexploded ordnance, and taken control of former Hezbollah strongholds, including tunnels and arms depots. Despite ongoing Israeli airstrikes and continued tensions, the army is working to assert control and maintain security in the volatile region. Lebanese officials emphasize their commitment to disarming militant groups, though Hezbollah has rejected government plans and insists on conditions for full disarmament.
