Lebanon has announced that its armed forces have achieved a state monopoly on weapons in the country's south, claiming to have effectively disarmed Hezbollah in accordance with the recent ceasefire agreement. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office responded by acknowledging these efforts as 'encouraging,' but emphasized that they remain 'far from sufficient.' The statement highlighted ongoing concerns about Hezbollah's attempts to rearm and rebuild its infrastructure, reportedly with support from Iran. Israel maintains that the complete disarmament of Hezbollah is essential for both its own security and Lebanon's future.
