A November 27 ceasefire that ended more than a year of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, including two months of full-blown war, stipulated that only United Nations

peacekeepers and Lebanon’s army should be deployed in the country’s south.
The deal required the Iran-backed terror group to dismantle its remaining military infrastructure in the south and move its fighters north of the Litani River, which is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Israeli border.
"Out of 265 Hezbollah military positions identified south of the Litani, the movement has ceded about 190 to the army," the source said on condition of anonymity.
The stipulation was also part of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War, but Hezbollah never adhered to the obligation and continued to build up its forces and positions to an unprecedented degree in recent years.
On October 8, 2023, Hezbollah began launching near-daily rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel in support of the Hamas

s, and by September 2024, the conflict escalated into open war, during which Israel decimated Hezbollah’s leadership and stockpiles. The war ended in a late November 2024 ceasefire, which has largely held despite mutual accusations of violations.
Under the agreement, Israeli forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon while Hezbollah was to remove its military infrastructure from the area. Troops remain in five points deemed "strategic" by the Israeli military. Israel also maintains the right to strike targets that pose an imminent threat.
A source in the Iran-backed terror group told AFP Saturday that it has handed over most of its territory in southern Lebanon to the Lebanese military. Citing diplomatic sources, Channel 12 reported the Lebanese military is getting better and better under US oversight, but that it’s still too weak to take full responsibility of regional security, despite the backing of France.
Hezbollah has reportedly shown readiness in recent days to discuss disarmament with US-backed Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who has vowed to maintain a state monopoly on arms. However, the terror group has reportedly continued to smuggle arms from Iran.
