Lebanese Army Dismantles 90% of Hezbollah Border Infrastructure
The Spin
Pro-government narrative
The Lebanese army's dismantling of Hezbollah's infrastructure represents a significant step toward restoring state sovereignty in southern Lebanon. This progress demonstrates Lebanon's commitment to implementing UN Resolution 1701 and establishing the state's monopoly on bearing arms. The continued Israeli occupation of five border positions violates the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
Pro-Israel narrative
Hezbollah's weapons pose a grave threat to Israeli civilians and regional peace. The dismantling of 90% of its terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon is a long-overdue enforcement of the ceasefire. Israel has to remain in the five strategic outposts as they are vital for early warning and defense along a volatile border.
Narrative C
Hezbollah has maintained its right to resist Israeli occupation and defend Lebanese sovereignty. Israel seeks to dominate Lebanon, establish settlements, impose resettlement, and weaken the country. The resistance has expressed willingness to discuss its weapons as part of a defensive strategy.
