Israel Frustrated by Lebanese Army's Slow Progress in Hezbollah Disarmament Pilot
Nearly two months after the launch of a pilot program aimed at disarming Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, Israeli officials express frustration, alleging the Lebanese army is "dragging its feet." The pilot, which commenced on July 20, 2026, involves Israel, the United States, and the Lebanese army.
The program's initial phase includes the gradual withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the transfer of security responsibilities to the Lebanese army in three villages: Peron, Sarifa, and Za'atar al-Gharbiyya. This initiative is designed to de-escalate tensions and establish a more stable security environment in the region.
