First phase of disarmament south of Litani River to end soon, says PM

The first phase of the plan to confiscate weapons south of the Litani River will end in a "few days", Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said in a statement.

A US-backed ceasefire agreed in November 2024 required the disarmament of Hezbollah, beginning in areas south of the river, the area adjacent to Israel.
